Had my eye on this for awhile now, but wanted to get some 'professional' opinions ;)

Sorry man but I'm going to try not to laugh at the XS power name. When you see a huge FMIC, all piping and hardware, big turbo and a manifold for a price of $900, it will not be good quality.

The FMIC and manifold typically comes to about that much or more

I think it's safe to say this idea's been thrown out the window :P

Good choice haha. I think you would end up spending a lot of money replacing this whole setup not long after wasting money on it. Like I said laggy setup with 4" everything

The thing about ebay intercoolers is they weigh a ton and all that weight is going to be sitting right on the nose of an already front heavy car.

If you are looking for a cheaper alternative to the oh so popular garrett GT series...look into holset turbos.
