to much turbo lag for me, i want full boost around 1500-2000 yea that can be done with a single but it's more work to incorporate a down pipe, plus i like true duals
ORIGINAL: BlackLX

I would just get a single turbo kit. There's no need for a TT kit.

B&G Turbo also has all the parts for a DYI twin turbo.

If you contact Pony Down and talk to jeff, he will be more than happy to work with you and get you the proper kit for your car. I myself have a 94 Cobra and im waiting for jeff to finish up my kit because i asked him to run things a little bit different than he offers in his kit.

This is true but a lot of S/Cs dont require intercoolers, and you can usually find injectors cheaper than that on ebay, so there is more of a difference than $900.

I personally love the KB b/c its simple to install, you dont have to move or change anything and its great for the street. Not to mention the whine is so awesome
ORIGINAL: r.barn

With everything the Hellion kit comes with they are about the same.

Hellion kit ......... $5,000

vs.

S/C ........... $3,000
fuel pump ........ $200
Injectors ........ $400
Intercooler ...... $500
Total ........... $4,100

as you can see they're not too far off from each other.

KB's are great for street torque, ProCharger would be better for the track.


ORIGINAL: 94gtcoupe

yea i know that prochargers more the battery, and i'll have a shut off switch for it, the kenne bell i'll custom make an intercooler for it, and the hellion is a little more that i'm wanting to spend

If your starting from a roll i would go with turbo. I have a single and it seems as if when im on the freeway that car pulls even harder the faster i go. As far as the hellion kit or any turbo kit you are going to be pulling your hair tuning that pig. Once its tuned theres nothing like a turbo. Try 10psi of boost on a turbo car then 10psi on a supercharged car and then see what you like more. As far as lag on a single im at full boost at 2000rpms and i have a T66 turbonetics in my car, and my buddy has the hellion 62-1 kit and his spools quickly also. If you want easier tuning then get a supercharger. Oh and when you get a hellion kit your going to have to get some sort of computer to be able to program and a wideband.

It is a GREAT kit, but everyone that ordered one says it took 6-9 months to get it.

If you dont mind waiting the better part of year for something that is promised in 6 weeks ......... go for it.
