well just wanted to report that my xspower turbo has taken a dump on me , it is pissing oil everywhere.

Damn thing lasted 2800 miles, the sad thing is that 2200 miles was during new motor break in = no boost. And 600 miles of mild boosting @ 8 psi laying down 300rwhp = exxon valdez.
Something to be aware of you are thinking about going this route which I don't recommend! I put a turbo heat blanket on the exhaust side of the turbo to keep temps down, well after I noticed the thing pissing oil I took off the blanket. I could see material flaking from the exhaust housing talk about cheap. Not that I didn't know this going in, just wanted to see how long it would last!

Next turbo is either a pt61 or pt63. haven't decided yet, but I am going in to groundzero motorsports tomorrow to discuss it with ralph and order it. The goal is a very quick, 450 rwhp 7 with excellent response. Anybody have experience with either of these turbos?

 

found this on another board. another XSpower this one blew up...

 

some 100mph tape will fix that right up!

 

I can't wait to pull the turbo apart and look at the inside. I 'll be willing to bet the inside is pretty chewed up, and after only 2,800miles!
Oh well, time to go bigger and better- the goal is longevity this time around, 6000 miles

 

OMG! it disintegrated! wow

 

I wonder how many miles ive got left...2,500+ so far so good

 

You will not be sorry with a PT as your next turbo. Class act company over there

 

phat, I wish you the best.... hopefully you are the lucky one and the thing will last. By the way do you have a turbo heat blanket on yours? have you noticed any material flaking off the exhaust side?
Buk, thanks for the advice in your pm. I am seriously thinking about going with the pt67 now. That way I would have a lot of room to make more power in the future.

 

nope i dont. i should tho. Im actually just hoping this thing holds up til the AF61 is available again.

 

you have exactly 754 miles left. if you used a lighter weight oil you have exactly 716 miles left.

 

wow...good thing i decided to get a good turbo... thats nasty!

 

lol.

 

thanks for the heads up mod, I better use those miles wisely!

 

phat how much power you puttin down with your turbo/setup?

 

I ordered my turbo..., ended up getting the pt66. I was hesitant getting anything larger than the pt63, but after some discussion with ralph and some very helpful board members I decided to step up to the 66. Thanks guys

 

lol thats funny. like i always say u get what u pay for. well hopefully u learnd your lesson.

 

yep, I just wanted something for a short period of time before I could decide what size turbo to get. I wasn't planning on the xspower turbo to decide for me 2800 miles after installing it!

Oh yeah while we are talking about xs crap, I did have the exhaust mani., wg, and turbo on my car. The wg got replaced by a tial after approx. 10 min. on the dyno, you saw what happened to the turbo, and the exhaust manifold is getting replaced tomorrow when the new pt66 is installed.

I am going to light the turbo on fire and **** on the ashes then mail it back to xspower!!! and yes I will post pics.

 

don't scrap it, JB it

 

what do u expect when the mexican in the bumble be costum from the simpsons builds turbos

 

lol- true, true.... well said.
