So XS Power/Engineering is poop??

Just browsing the new issue of Turbo magazine. A couple of good Evo write ups in there. Had an exhaust comparisson with about 10 or 15 systems...All with dyno numbers from "XS Engineering". The other dealt with Buddy Club coilovers going on the Evo and the magazine said that "Next we will install the XS Power FMIC".

So, I read a bunch of stuff on here that this is Chinese crap and this and that. So, is it really crap or is it decent inexpensive stuff...just with a bad wrap or even other upset people because the stuff IS inexpensive? Or, is it really crap and Turbo magazine just has them as a sponsor...therefore they are "obligated" to plug them.

A little help would be appreciated.

Just curious.

Kris

XS E. is basically Apexi isnt it? I remember they were quite similiar, at least a few years ago they were, so I always thought they were the same company.

XS Engineering is good stuff ... most mags and industry guys use them for tuning their cars ... all their products are designed by them from their experiance with tuning.

As far as it being Apexi its not ... one of the head guys at XS use to work for Apexi thats about it.

Good stuff! Just needed some clarification! I was a little confused about that. Turbo XS..XS Engineering...XS Power! LORD!!!

Thanks for the posts guys. I was wondering what the deal was...Didn't realize the two were totally different.

Power is the name of the FMIC, like Buschurs Deluxe or Race FMIC.
