I am running a novi 2000

I have 2 friends with hellion single kits on their 3v cars and both making just over 500. I have one friend running a TT hellion kit on his 2v and making 650something. MPH sells the turbo horsepower kit. It's ok but has oil return problems because they don't have an oil pump like the hellion kit. When the oil can't return it gets through the turbo seals and blows oil into the intake.

Look at B&G turbo kits too. They are rated for 750 rwhp. Its a single turbo kit too. Its up to you what do you want for single vs. twin. There are single turbos that dont have that much lag for the power he wants. We have a big V8 and we dont have that much issues with lag unless your going for a HUGE turbo. This has been beaten to death over and over. Im going to go single. A single its better for on the roll, for twins its better for a dig. However they both perform great. There isnt a such thing as "better" its just preference. Single turbo kit weighs less than twins too which is one of the reasons why i will go single. With 25K you can do it with that budget. Good luck man ask if you have other questions.

I am running 661rwhp (720rwhp on a dynojet) with a garbage tune. I am getting retuned on friday by a new tuner and will be making near 800rwhp and I have less in my car then $35,000 to include the price of the car.

Don't forget to do your suspension along with the power or the power will be useless.

guess your not Chuck Norris but Merlin the magician.....good job on keeping the price low.
