no, there are confirmed real ones out in the market, just that they don't make it for the US because we use a lower grade octane fuel and because of different compression issues, or so I am told by some board members. Top fuel is one for example.

hmm i heard that garret( a company that makes turbos) has developed a lagless turbo, apparantly they added a small moter to the turbo that spinns it up to speed so you dont suffer from the lag. if it is possible to successfully turbo an s2k i would consider that one.

As mentioned before, Top Fuel has had excellent success with turbocharging the Stook, and since I much prefer turbocharging to supercharging...I'll be waiting for the kit, even if it takes years.

I'd give things time too. I'd like to see what's available in a few years.

I "heard" that Jackson Racing was working on something. Before I had bought mine, I was up in Santa Barbara and almost bought it from there. They had told me that Jackson Racing had just bought one and they were gonna "work on it". *HUSH HUSH* =)
