| I've been researching this company and they seem ok. Def looks like ebay china turbos but they do race and back there products. I beleive some folks on here have actually seen that XB and say the install is pretty legit. I would highly recommend enginemanagement and I see they do also. I would contact cxracing directly make sure your getting a legit kit. |

They also offer a full catback exhaust for the XB.

| i love side mount intercoolers. front mounts are cool as hell, but the sleeper aspect of an intercooler you can't see is so serious. |

Corys' kit cost alot more and took almost 4 months to get, it should be 1000x better. For 1500 what else would you expect. BTW how long before you up and running Cory? |

| is anyone interested in this kit becaus ei am and he told me 1400 shipped to atlanta and i was thinking about this kit because my xb is a automatic and i dont think its that bad. the 3 inch catback also sounds nicer than tsudo and borla. |

| Wow, offset log manifold and no trimming on the gasket or mounting plate, definately some cost cutting going on there. I wonder how well that log works out. Looks like you're tapping your own oil pan too. At least they have a down pipe. Gotta wonder on the side mount efficiency too, that thing's iddy biddy. |

| side mounts are ok and tap your own oil pan im not catching you about 90% have you do this its a 1400 buck kit its not a high end kit i dont think you will be seeing to many high end kits for the xb2 not enough of a market my kit was 3600 and its got name brand parts lets say i got a deal with all the goodies i have |

| Doesnt look too bad for a cheap kit. When I first saw pics of the kit a while back I didnt like the way the piping looked but now that I know it has a sidemount I realize it isnt all that bad of a setup. Definitely better than a ZPI stage 0 minus the cheap turbo. I look forward to seeing xB2's with this kit and hopefully success in the end. |
