There are fitting issues for sure but most go away when you buy the xspower t3 manifold but still not a bolt on kit as sold

I used for about 3 months and was great but just wanted more power and when going to gt30 the difference is un-believable

We still have the above kit, But we also have a V band setup soon, with externally gated manifold. its been developed with the help from Re worx.

We have had good results from Both a T70 and a T3 T4

i think Ryan got 330hp, from the above kit, but he has got internal Mods.

Jason if you have evidence to back up the RE-Worx involvement and developement it would be great for you to post it up.

THIS IS NOT A DIG OR KNOCK,

I think lots of products can get an internet blacklist so to speak. Now there have been issues with previous XS products and a lack of customer service.

You can turn the latter around as you are the UK bossman so to speak and any extra back up you can give to the products can only be a bonus for you.

well my experience is this.

Kit didn't fit. cost hundereds to get it to fit.

Now the wastegate pipe that comes from turbo side has cracked and i am off for repairs tomorrow. I have converesed with xs-power but their responses are few and far between and not very good.

BTW it had only done 700miles!

as for power i will not know until next month when its mapped.

I had 2 fitting issues

They were fitting the oil feed to the turbo. We used the standard oil feed bolt and added a thread to it. Then I used the t3/t4 oil feed and return kit. The second being that the bolts with the kits are not hi tension. So you'll need to go out and buy some as I snapped allot :D

The manifold fitted perfect and so did the down pipe to the turbo and also the intercooler.

If you were at Modified Nationals 2006 then you might have saw my car there. It was running amazing and the power increase is great. Plus the sound of the screamer pipe off the atmospheric wastegate to the dump pipe makes the car sound totally different.

The car was running perfect but I have big plans for her atm so I’m rebuilding everything.

If you get the kits make sure you read the instructions as there are allot of good hints and tips.

If you'd like any advice or help just give me a pm mate

Hope all goes well for you

Hey here is a thought,

If you dont want to beleive me, Give Re worx a phone call \:D/

Chris @ Reworx has done 2 installs, first with a T70, and second with a T3T4 we have made it so both Celica and MR2 can take this kit with no mods,(as the GT4 has the alternator in a different place) Both V band set ups, and both externally gated, we will be doing an Atmospheric version and a re routed version,

First impressions are good, T70 only really for modded engines, as its a massive turbo, but even on a standard Block gave good results,

All this will be finished very shortly, production has started and hopefully they will not be too long,

picture below, ( not forgetting this is a Pre prototype version. )

RE-WORKS

Post by Leakie Tbar »

Jason is the kit for rev 1+2 only, or is it for Rev 3 ????

I was just wondering about oil filter location on the Rev 1+2 must be a tight fit

any idea of prices. I want to run a max of 400 bhp and have a tight budget, hence my interest in your turbo.

I assume these will be quite a bit more expensive

a full write up will be done by Chris when finished, but not forgetting this is on a celica,

as yet this is 7/9 stud manifold.
