RE: Procharger or Hellion
Aren't turbos a helluva lot harder to tune? Or is it just that far less people know how to tune turbo setups? I just hear all the time people paying an arm and a leg to get their tubo systems to run right.

RE: Procharger or Hellion
I'm going with the D1SC from procahrger. I would have gone with the TT setup from HP turbo but I made the mistake of doing suspension
mods first. Turns out you need to use their tubular k member and front coil overs. I already did these mods and didn't want to redo all that stuff.
Turbos are the way to go however, if this is the setup you want to keep.

RE: Procharger or Hellion
Why are you guys buying turbos from hellion?????????
you can piece together a kit for possibly thousands cheaper guys.
B&G turbos
Ponydown.
www.turbomustangs.com Its worth going to.
as for the SC vs turbo argument, turbos make more power per pound of boost. GENERALLY if it is a streetcar you can get more power out of a turbo than a SC while still running PUMP GAS.
EDIT - oh, and with a good properly sized turbo, you can achieve full boost at 2k-2.5k. Ever felt a turbo hit? its nothing short of awesome.

+1 for 2000gt4.6 Turbos are more effeciant. Any car with the same numbers running a s/c vs. the same thing running a turbo the turbo motor is quicker. I would catch it by 3rd gear i see it all to often.

RE: Procharger or Hellion
Turbo's are really popular her in NM, especially Hellion because it's a local company so no waiting list for locals, and smoking prices. Besides turbo cars aren't effected as much by the altitude.
