Wow, you didn't search enough...
Answer these questions...
1. What turbo kit by what company? If homegrown then proceed to A. If not, go to 2.
A. What turbine do you have?
B. Intercooler?
C. What manifold?
D. What engine Management?
E. What injectors?
F. And on and on and on...
2. If it's the Alpine kit, what other mods will you have done to the car?
3. If it's the Speed Factor Kit, which one?
A. Basic
B. Extreme...
You see what we are getting at?
That's why you'll see all over the forums that you need to sit around for awhile and read. See that turbo's aren't something you just "Slap" on and go fast.

if you slap one on your looking at about no hp..make sure you bolt it up. (hahahah i'm soo funny)
TUNING is a HUGE factor in hp #'s...be a daredevil...high compression...low boost and the exactly correct on the dime tunning.

man, I looked at the title of this thread and I just though - hmm? "RD Tiburon HP gains" like what? RD Tiburon loses something and HP.com gains something?
weird, I dunno. Ok don't mind me.

^^ we won't.
but I have read that Tim (the guy who makes Speed-Factor turbos) says from his Basic beta Kit you will be able to easily hit the 200 mark, 220+? with tuning not sure

got a link to him? after weighing my issues.. I have changed my wants from S/c to turbo. While I still prefer the instant response of the supercharger.. I do not want to be paying for fuel I am not using due to parasitic losses. somewhere around the 200-220 range with a small, quick turbo would do me wonders.
