Turbo vs. Super
 
Besides the obvious battles i.e. american muscle vs. japanese, what one do you guys think is best? A side question with both of these would you have to run on a higher octane gas? Links X-ChargerSTS turbo

Are you wanting a fun DD with plenty of giddyup or a all out beast?

The X comes with both a 91 and 93 octane Tune ... However in GA nobody sells 91 so I run the 93 .... With that particulary turbo unit ... I don't think you can run dual exhuast .... and even though duals don't add any HP ... I don't think a Mustang looks right without them ..

which is more reliable? although the turbo is VERY enticing, the X seems to be a very reliable unit for the DD with all the kick you need for street use.

Hey Grabber Girlwhere did you get your twin turbo system from?

between those two kits id get the x for sure.

the sts single turbo spools pretty late and made pretty low numbers for a turbo car.

im sure in straight line acceleration the X would be slightly ahead. not to mention itd be more fun for street use.

and this is coming from a turbo guy lol

Thats all good to know, especially since i just want a DD that will be a thrill to drive. I should probably ask the manufacturer but I think you guys know more lol, if i ordered the X could i get it at a slightly higher psi like i dont know an 8 or 9 psi kit cause then itd be a genuine GT killer, but at a 1 to 2 psi difference am i sacrificing the reliability? Thanks for all the info and keep it comin [sm=smiley20.gif]

I love turbos, I've had a couple. But that X looks so easy to install. The best part is NO EXHAUST WORK!!! That exhaust workon turbos is a B***H!!

for those with the x, whats the power diff between the hi-po kit and the CA spec? if you get the hi-po kit, can you downgrade to the CA spec come smog check time? thanks.
