They have since changed the couplers as well. I have them, pretty good quality.

Oh and from what I have read it is completely up to you. I would NEVER buy a turbo off of ebay. It's a pretty big risk to save a few hundred dollars (which could potentially cause MAJOR damage...) I have heard of people who have had success with them, but usually they come back a few months to a year complaining that it finally broke.

I would rather buy a used authentic Garrett turbo than a new XS power turbo off of there. That's just me though.

XS = xtra small

XS turbo shoudl be nakmed XC for xtra Cheaply made.

Just buy a real turbo and leave xs to the 5 psi honda crowd they are made for.

Those are fun... you have an LSD on that GSX? IF you do that turbo will spool so fast and so hard that you can tip the tail out a good 30 degrees on any righthander. You can also 4 wheel drift with power.
