I knew they were cheap, but I didnt know they were only $500.

I've seen some manifolds that had a support bracket welded between the head flange and the turbo flange to help reduce cracking. I still wouldnt put that on my car.

LOL, my bad XS Engineering (aka XS Power). Why the hell are there so many XS's in performance parts? But yea everything but there intercooler cores I would never trust. But plenty have pressure tested and run the cores in some big power set-ups

Actually take a look at there intercooler kits.... You will be surprised. So long as you make the core right its hard to fuck up the piping. Like ive said before the cores are fine.

And at least looking at the Subaru kit, the XS engineering and XS power kit look the same (core and all). No other company routes the charge pipes like those kits, EVERYONE else goes through a different firewall hole. So, there has got to be some connection

Yeah, I know there is nothing wrong with their intercoolers, every other product they make is crap though.

I was just saying that in response to your comment "XS Engineering (aka XS Power)"

XS Power sucks majorly compared to XS Engineering

Oh yea, like I said id never buy anything but Intercoolers from them. Or an intake, cant fuck-up an intake.

But really, I wonder if there is a connection between the XS engineering and XS Power Subaru FMIC kit? I mean they are the same, and they sell for the same price too!! LOL, XS engineering just have there logo on there couplers and a different coolant overflow replacement tank. But thats it.

Thats why I though they were related or sister companies.

Doubtful, I know a guy that has an XS Engineering FMIC on his STi. That kit is over $1,000

Their cores w/o end tanks are $400-$500 and $600-$700 with tanks
