is it correct in saying that a turbo will put less stress on a motor than a SC?
assuming a SC and turbo running 8 psi, b/c of the "turbo lag" you can drive around under boost and almost treat it as not having one....
or is it also possible to do that with a SC as well as long as you leave your foot out of it.
thirdly..do they make a remote mount turbo for the New Edge? seems every turbo setup needs a tubular K member, wondering if anyone has done a setup leaving the car stock.
...no im off to go read that link on tubos lol

someone buy me a turbo kit.
Anyone heard anything about on3performance kits? Im not sure if their welds are all that great. Also the guy i called and talked to seemed like an idiot. I told him i needed 60# injectors and dual fuel pumps. He then told me a single SVT focus pump would suffice. I told him, my car does not have a stock bottom end its forged, im going to be well over mid 400whp, probably closer to 6. Then he tells me some guy i forget his name, is using that set-up on his 2v with no problems. I said how much power is he making? "Oh right around 430whp". *Facepalm*. The price however was very reasonable, for a 4v They told me $32xx to my door for a tubular K member ( i think a-arms?) 60# injectors an SVT focus fuel pump lulz/ piping/intercoolers and a masterpower T70 turbo. A hellion is avaliable for a little more.

Second you can drive centris like they are not even there. People can stay out of boost by driving in low rpms.
Third. Forget rear mount turbos!!!!!!! Now!!!!!
Pony down performance actually allows you to run the stock k member but your car cannot be lowered. The pipe runs under the k member.

Stress: 8 PSI is 8 PSI. PSI means pressure per square inch. They both exhert the same pressure the difference is how efficiently it does that. That is why you will see more torque and hp from a turbo. As for stress the supercharger IMO puts more stress since the motor is turning harder to spin the pully.

but you did answer my qyestion of being able to drive around as if you have nothing on the car at all. to "baby" it and not having the motor experiance full boost all the time.
guys in the thunderbird forums have played with remote mount turbos and have had success with them, but prob lack efficiency as engine bay mounted systems and ecperience more turbo lag than maybe desired.
