pros...

1. easy to install / remove.
2. does not require opening the motor.
3. gives instant torque / boost for my fav. kind of racing.
4. less complicated to work with, less parts as turbo...
5. ?

cons..

1. less power output as turbo.
2. less potential for more power if i want it later on..
3. impossible to intercool due to the manifold design.
4. ?

Cons

4. Maximum of about 40 HP gain.


I didn't know you had to open the engine if you went turbo. I thought that was just if you wanted to change compression or pistons.

As for constant boost, you can do that with a Turbo too, just set it to spool lower.

But it's your decision.

Good luck.

you cant set a turbo to spool lower, but you can buy a smaller turbo, or one of the garret gt series turbos. wink.gif
