Cool, I'm glad it worked for you. The main reason they were bashing it was the way it looked and that they wouldn't show a correct dyno with the correct parameters...date, time, power, torque, and the way it looked. I don't think it looks as clean as it could, but it is working and producing some good power.
That site is a good one, but they can be harsh on there and nobody is EVER wrong...or so they think. You can tell by the responses to that thread...LOL.
Maybe you can get with that company, RPMotorsports?, and see if they can dial it in for you? I am thinking they are near you? Anyway, good luck on the xB and maybe we'll see you at a show sometime!

On another note...There aren't too many successful turbos on the xB. And the one you bought was a 'ghinea pig' so to say. I say this because you may have issues down the road with reliability. They may have really overworked that thing and ran it hard to see how far they could go. Just keep your ears out and your oil changed!
