[QUOTE="TRBO VNM, post: 9342256, member: 14678"] I am not going to get into an argument, but man, some of this is incorrect information. Turns on when you are already going to fast? I have plenty of use with it in 1-3rd gear. Spin the wheels at will at 80mph? Really, and the instant torq of a PD blower doesn't do that? ask everyone making 600 plus with a TS and even some guys running mid 500's with an eaton. I can run 15# of boost in the summer with my street tires...not drag radials, but actual street tires(295/35/18 BFG KDW2) and not spin all the way to redline in 4th gear. Sure, if I nail it in first gear all the way to redline and shift through each gear without stopping I can spin them, but I am not going 80 in 1st gear. no matter the power adder, stock eaton to compound boost, speeding can get you a ticket and you can get to that jail time speed just as easy with any of them. it depends on the driver and his foot, not the power adder. working on them? I have worked on hellion equipped cars and and HP equipped cars. There is less for me to do on a hellion car when changing a clutch. you can also get to the inner belt and idlers a lot easier with a turbo setup. not so much with the factory setup. valve cover changes are easier, injector changes can be easier depending on the PD blower setup. So far, the positives outweigh the negatives for me. It may not for others. Your 2 major differences will be cost and instant power. although now with compound boost if you went that route, cost will be the major difference between a TS setup and turbo setup. the only maintenance I ever did on my first turbo cobra was changing my wideband sensor and oil changes. other than that, I drove it and enjoyed it. drove it on the hot rod power tour and took it long distances(MD to FL) without issue. turbo is not for everyone and some have gone back to a TS because they like the instant torq. I have no problem giving unbiased info, but I also don't like it when people give incorrect info. some people have issues with certain turbo companies and kits, so it puts a bad taste in their mouth and they badmouth them(going turbo) from then on. it is definitely something that people need to weigh their options and what they are trying to accomplish with their car.
