xs power t4 eh
let me guess. you were searching for turbos on ebay and you went with the biggest one for the least amount of money. alright. this is something everybody should know.
Ebay XS Power / SS AutoCrap turbos ARE GARBAGE. Their seals are practically blown out of the box, and I'll almost me damn certain that you did not prime the turbo before the initial startup after you installed the setup.
BUY A GOOD TURBO from cheapturbo.com or atpturbo.com or full-race.com and throw away that garbage dispenser.
I agree 100%
I just bought a 93 Prelude with a ebay XS Power turbo kit and I've had nothing but problems. My manifold cracked all to hell, and my turbo leaks oil (oil comes out my exhaust and goes all through intercooler pipes).

If you look at the maps I would suggest the T3/T04E 57 trim over the 50 trim due to the better resistance to surging. I'm using the 57 trim on a D16 and I have no problem spooling in first. You have to have all the parts work together. Make sure you have at least 2.5 piping for everything. Mine builds boost at 2K with 2.5 piping and I'm upgrading to 3" with the new motor that is going in.
