Isn't xs power a turbo xs ebay knockoff? Don't go cheap with your ic, or else you WILL have fitment issues.

you need a catless uppipe before going any further, you dont want to melt/destroy the cat and have it sucked into the turbo!!

IHI turbos works well with top-mount intercoolers, larger turbos would need FMIC.
