Turbo specialties...Its a T20 Turbo, with a 56% power increase. There was a problem with the intake piping not fitting, but they have JUST released the intake piping for the xB. My kit will be here in Saturday and I will hopefully have time to post some pics...

150HP is still quite a bit for this small of a car, would be nice to test out. As for kinks, are there any well known problems with dumping this much HP in it? I know some vehicles (Mainly RWD) can have axle problems (ie breaking) under more HP but I'm somewhat newer to the FWD and dunno about axle problems after dumping a good amount of HP to it.

You'll most likely bust a rod before you ever get close enough to twist an axle. Check this out:

Just sayin man, you've been sayin that ____ since october...I hope it works out for you cuz I would have never gotten it for myself even though I had the chance back in the day to be one of the firsts from ScionFX when they originally sold the kit,

I myself had the JDM Blitz supercharger but I sold it a lil while ago to save up for something tricker.

who cares how long i have been saying it... Its done now.. See, thats the difference between me and alot of people.. When I say I am going to do something, I do it. So what it took a while, but I did it. I wanted to make sure I had everything I was going to upgrade for the install. Also, there were lots of other things done first... So we will just have to wait for your "tricker" setup....
