[QUOTE="Digital, post: 9343059, member: 66214"] I was about to fire up the siege engines but you took care of that. Like VNM said it's really about setup. You can get two little turbos and make 600rwhp at 18psi and they'll come on SUPER quick. Then you have people here running 80mm turbos at 9psi and wonder why it wont spool till 5000rpm. Also as VNM stated for people who want to brave a compound setup you get insane power with almost no turbo lag and that instant boost off idle. The problem with turbos I think right now is the lack of info and abundance of POOR info. I think the manufacturers have a part in this as well. If you go on hellions site you can buy a turbo kit for ~5000 so people instantly pick that up asuming they are going to have a awesome kit but they fail to realise that they got the lowest grade items. They didnt check any boxes for the upgrades that are needed to spool faster or create more power, etc. Then they cry that they have ass loads of lag and arent making as much power as they thought they would.. Well if you didnt cheap out you wouldent have any lag and butt loads of power. Turbos arent like blowers, they arent all made equal. Theres a reason you can get a 500$ turbo off ebay with the same "stats" as a 2000$ turbo and the two once bolted to the car will perform COMPLETELY different. People make the mistake in diving into turbos head first without any research and they end up getting swept up in everything not realising how much money it actually costs to build a really good performing turbo cobra. We're not talking about 300-400hp evos here. We're talking about almost a THOUSAND horse power in a lot of cases from a little 281 engine. You're going way past what you can with a twin screw but you gotta know what you're doing. [/QUOTE]
