Yea i mean if you have time just research them all and see how much you like the efficiency, sound, power, cos, install time, etc.

Don't want to rush a decision like this

This thread was a good start. Gave me some options to look into. I'm trying to figure out which turbo companies most people go with. I've seen Hellion, Turbonetics, and Garrett mentioned. I see myself ending up with a KB or a Procharger, preferably a KB though.

well, Garrett and Turbonetics are actual turbochargers. i dont thinkthey make kits for our cars. Hellion makes kits, very good kits.

Man, everyone goes blown. Why? Why do you want to get blown? Think about the nostalgia of having a turbo'd 4v! Dude...seriously. It's my dream. Turbo's are so much easier too! You can basically build your own kit, if you have the skill. All you need is a turbo basically.


I'm planning on building my own piping for the manifolds and hot/cold side. Probably my own piping for the FMIC as well. Turbo is the way to go if you're going to do something amazing for your car. Buying a kit is always out of the question, at least for me. Hellion is too expensive. Why do you need a tubular K member to have a turbo? Stupid.

All I'm sayin....is do something extraordinary.

2 reasons..to save weight and allow for bigger downpipes which make more power.

Oh I see. So Garrett and Turbonetics only make the actual turbo unit. Gotcha.

Any form of F/I would be pretty extraordinary for me ha! I think it's going to end up coming down to which deal I find first when the time comes. I'd still love a KB

you dont need it.....but it saves weight and gives more clearance for the downpipes. my v6 was seriously limited witht he factory K-member and would have made 03 cobra power with a good clutch and 3.5 inch downpipe. i know this because the dumbass who bought just put down 450 rwhp on 14 PSI with a 3.5 inch downpipe, new clutch, K-member and tune. more power is always good.

he dropped in a supercoupe engine with split-port heads.
