Re: twin turbo or supercharger

Turbo > S/c. The level of control alone makes it worthwhile. No need to swap pullies, etc... Can't overlook the power/tq gains over a belt-driven blower either. I really think it is the superior of the two F/I's.

Go with a single if possible. Less complicated, and probably a bit cheaper due to it having lesser parts than TT kit.

**Edit** Well, maybe not in the time it takes to install a blower, but still it can be done over a weekend.

you got your doors blown off by a turbo car, didnt you???

Smack!

Personally, I'm close to foaming at the mouth to order myself a hot parts setup from Jose, but I've got to finish my truck first. I've gone from wanting a moderate T60 something to the point where I've decided on a PT88. 9's here I come.
