All you ebay haters!
OK, so i know there are alot of haters on here that dispise the XS-Power/Stone Racing/SS Autochrome products sold on ebay. Well i am proof that infact they do work perfectly fine. As of 2:00am my 1986 13B N/A is officially boosted. The whole kit was purchased off of ebay and totalled about 1500$. I will post pics of my setup very soon.
Heres what i have for parts:
XS-Power 60-1 T4 Turbo (1.15ar hotside, .60ar coldside)
HKS look a like manifold
HKS look a like 50mm wastegate with dump tube (boosting at 3psi)
XS-Power blow off valve
1st gen DSM side mount(front mounted)
S-AFC II
a-f gauge, boost gauge
-as of right now the boost comes on around 2800 hits full boost by 3800 and stays on till 7000.
Fuel mods to come include:
larger injectors
bigger fuel pump
manual boost controller
Let me know what you guys think then when i post the pics

Boosting Again
ok WOW where to start
How are you only boosting 3psi? I wasnt aware or a spring that opens at 3psi. You must haev a boost leak. You are running a 60-1 on a stock NA ecu? WITH NO FUEL MODS YET?

post up some pics, i'd like to see your car.
P.S. i turbo'd my old 88 gtu and only spent $1000ish including a microtech ltx-8. check it out, you might get some ideas.

my point exactly exlax, just because something is low priced or on ebay doesnt mean that is junk. That is exactly why i purchased this kit too prove a point. I will hopefully have pics up tom. Fuel pump and injectors are on the way.

I'm sure they use nice and expensive glue to glue those compressor covers together. And I'm sure the 8 year old's they hire to do their welding, remember to turn on the argon most of the time...... Like need-a-t2 said, it may work, but for how long? And just because it's working, doesnt mean it's working efficiently.....
And for the record, I do believe there is someone out there making .2bar (3psi) springs for WG's.

And they inspected it before I put it in the car.

those welds on the eclipse manifold looks nothing like hte ones i got on my FD manifold from ssauto chrome. The ones on my manifold were almost perfect looking little coins weleded one ontop of the other. Not like that JB weld janky looking **** on that DSM.

yeah your right poweraxle, well, i will def. have pics up tom. So far it runs fairly good, i def. need a new exhaust though, and i def. need 3", the stock exhaust is way to small to even allow the turbo to start spooling until about 4k rpm. The only other problem i am having is i have been finding alot of boost looks on the engine, mostly in the vacuum lines.
