I would not buy an OBX or XS power turbo... they are very sub par quality.
They do not use quality goods, the housing have been know to crack and break apart (literally)... they are poorly balanced, they use sub par bearings, the clearances are horrible, bits of metal left in the chra from assembly, etc.
basically most eat the bearings for a variety of reasons, develop tons of shaft play, the balancing nut comes loose on the compressor occationally from poor quality control, housings crack... sheesh the horror stories from a variety of boards would amaze you.
Given some people have gotten lucky with them, but even a squirrel finds a nut somtimes.
