TurboXS piping

So I recently picked up a deal of turboXS piping..
I basically jumped on the deal without researching about the piping..

I searched about it and couldnt find anyone who gave a decent review on them.

anyone who has used this or heard about them can give just a short review?
any input is greatly apprieciated

I've been running these for about 5-8 years now. No issues with them lining up, but I did have a custom bracket mounted to the lower turbo outlet pipe. May not have needed it but both my mechanic and I felt it couldn't hurt, plus the stock one has a mounting point.

Others might recommend different but if you have a stock turbo you wont see much of a "gain" with a piping kit. You could even possibly Lose some spool time.

But i guess if youve already bought it. Throw it on.

If you wana make good power, start buying parts to convert to e85.

Evo 9 turbo
Gsc s2
Gsc springs
Head studs
1000cc+ injectors FIC
Wally 255

Take your time, find good used deals.

You can be making 400whp on this setup with in $2500

I would still have my upper pipe today but my hose was starting to fray from rubbing the battery terminal. I've personally seen them hold 500hp. And even John Bradley recommends to change them if you plan on running over 30psi.
