I know that this subject has been discussed over and over and over again.. however I have been away from the boards almost 6 months and now I am thinking about going FI, so I wanted to hear current reviews, experiences, advice and comments from currently supercharged or turbocharged owners. Pro's, con's did any new systems introduced over the last 6 moths, total cost, drivability, total power output, and ofcourse durability and longevity.

Please post your comments ill be glad to read them.

 

Turbo magazine has an article on the newly developed S2K turbo kit from Ultimate Racing. Sounds like a decent kit. What do you all think?

 

Their kit has been out awhile already.

With the vortech kit, you can just install everything that comes with it and no tuning no adjustment nothing is neccesary right?

 

I know the figures listed in that article were the same also on their site, but I recently spoke with Darryl and they've since changed their setup a bit and are now reaching 319 rwhp and 208lb/ft at 7psi still. A good bit increase

Darryl said we should see charts up soon.

 

They say no tuning is necessary, but it's always making their kit seem more tempting. It is definitely recommended to do so as I've read many people having problems running lean with the Vortech. Something you need to keep your eye out for. It's worth the extra investment to get the kit running ideally.

 

Well you're in CA so unless you plan on moving out of state before your registraion (and smog cert.) is due, you have two choices: Vortech or Comptech.

I highly doubt that you'd regret going with either one. The Comptech is a bit more expensive, but it's easier to install and has been around the longest.

I've dyno'd my car twice--on a Dynojet I put down 289 in 90 deg. weather and I put down 304 on Comptech's dyno. Despite the small difference in 0-60 and 1/4 mile times posted (launching a peaky SC'd engine is a bitch) the difference in power is tremendous.

Drop the cash, write the check, max the card--you won't regret it.

 

i'm kinda leaning towards the turbo... how much is that turbo kit? has anyone used it? and what do they think about it?
