Red Headed Stepchild-75 Swinger LSX Swap
Well a while back I spoke with a company called XS Power a while back about a set of their topmount single t4 turbo manifolds and possibly testing them and doing a review to share online. Sent him pics of the car and the link to my build thread. But had since told him I was going twins so I wouldnt be needing his set anymore.
I sent him another email last week checking in to see if he had gotten anyone to review them yet and he said no, and since I was going to be removing mine for wrapping them anyway I figured what the hell, let me see if they'll work. At least I can share the info with fellow swappers.
Well today I went to the office expecting to pick up just the 90 degree mount for the 2nd t3 turbo, and then they hand me a rather large box that I wasnt expecting at the time. I got the manifolds in the mail.
So here are the initial pics. Initial impression from me is positive. Welds are nice and clean, they took the time to smooth out the inside of the runners as well where its welded to the flanges.
Passenger side manifold. T4 topmount, wastegate flange welded on, and the downward pipe to connect to the crossover tube.
Driver side manifold. I'm only worried about this one clearing because I still have the power steering on my car.
