Those about the same units, go for the cheaper one. The price difference is more marketing then anything else.

AMS!

TurboXS ****ed enough people in this community over 1K at a time with their firmware-updateless utec. Don't support that group of failures.

I have the xs power (AMS knock off) $132 shipped- it works just fine.

Proof?

The xspower opinion is like a$$holes...everyone has one.....I tend to think it sucks a$$. I would have had to cut into my bumper in order for it to fit........ Stick with what you know for this mod.

heads up with the turbo xs you either need to cut the under tray or remove it. Like I said I was considering the turboxs too. I have a splitter and I dont think it will fit. I am between the ams and ets 3.5"
