All joking aside, I don't doubt the quality of Elda/Bell's kit (I have the new Super Street, just haven't had time to read it yet). But let's be realistic: for $6K, I could get an SC kit with AC boosting at 7.5 psi ($4K), an AEM EMS ($1.3K) and 550cc injectors ($400) and VERY easily throw down 315 whp -- as one of our local members just did 2 weeks ago at dyno day. That's a 115 vs. 72 whp increase in favor of the SC. Who's doing the spanking then, I wonder?
One thing I WILL admit: there is waaaay more upside potential with a turbo. But you're also talking waaaay more than $6K there too. Assuming a $6K ceiling, I still maintain that an SC kit for this car is the best bang for the buck. Period.
Flame suit on...

Whats the max psi level it can take . All i know is that its a garret-airesearch t3/t4 hybrid turbocharger with .48 a/rand 60-1 compressor trim . It can hold up to about 60 lbs of pressure and 500+ ponies .
But the question i have is can this turbo's psi go larger than 5? because i know the S can take at most up to around 11 or 12 psi without having to do any internal work .
