RE: Anyone gone turbo?
I am still wavering back and forth between turbos and superchargers but I just want that huge power that you can get from a turbo with no loss off the shaft like a s/c does. What kinda times are you all running with turbo settups? I would be interested in taht definatly

RE: Anyone gone turbo?
I haven't ran yet. I might go on Saturday as it depneds on weather for themost part. If it's shiney tomorrow I'm getting it dynoed and possibly running saturday night.
I know the car is capable of 11.80's or so. I wonder if my clutch will hold upor if I'll go at all.

My turbo kit has been extremely streetable. No driveability issues at all (other than being sideways at 60mph). My wife drives it all the time and has no issues. Tuning also hasn't been bad. I will be upping to a 76mm this winter and shooting for 650-700rwhp next spring. I may have a different opinion then

If the OP is set on a turbo, a twin is the best option for him IMO.

If you go with a single and those power levels - you will.

If you can PM me or post all the steps you took because I know you cant just rework the internals for that kinda power with a SC you have to do trany, driveshaft, breaks, gears all kindsa work so lemme know I would like to get some advice from one who has done it already.
