Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed (the original poster...hulk or w/e) Honestly, my advice, QUIT YOUR BITCHING! You're like a little girl....if you don't want to spend the money on it, DONT! Let the other people buy them instead. You sound very immature and probably shouldn't have anything turbo'd

Not exactly, spray will out weigh it for years unless you track your car every day. Turbo is a better way to do it reliably though.

I look on youtube, theres like 2 videos. and one called it a baby turbo. Your price is rediculous. I could ****** buy it. everyone here could buy it, but they dont want to spend 3500 on a system that they dnt know anything aboubt cuz not many people talk about it. Hell mkurley installed ur system and next thing u know his car was on a to truck.

dnt be like, that i can afford it. and when ZZ comes out, i'll spend my money well on somen worth it. I'm glad u could boost the car to bout 200, sstill short of the sc.. ZZ claims are well above that.

so mabye u should go work on that
So...



Why havent you designed your own since you seem to know how much effort it takes to make a kit, muchless make a reliable one.

You got me there...I was comparing the performance gain of the turbosystem to more conventional mods like exhaust products, air intakes...the like. Nitrous HP per dollar is far and away better, until that premature engine failure creeps into the cost figure...

well it depends for nitrous really... if you go with a full setup it can be like 1500 or more for everything plus install unless you do it yourself.. then depending on how much you juice you
can spend alot of money in fills... not to mention DANGER TO TEH MANIFOLDZ haha.. ..

a basic setup can be pretty cheap but going all out can definitely hurt the pocket just as much as a turbo setup

if you cant stand the heat. Get the **** out of the kitchen


If you cant afford modding, dont do it. If you cant afford drugs, dont use 'em. Save your money, go to college, get a job, and then come back and thank me.

Haha, that is why I ended with Turbo being more reliable but think about it, spend $600 on a good spray kit, about $5 per pound and about 1lb for every 50 shot. You can get a nice N2o system and do 200 runs with it or get a turbo and have the power always there. Personally I would run spray at safe levels(50-75 shot) and go turbo later, that is what I plan on doing with my porsche(1978 924 I got not running).

So maybe you should work on your typing skillz0rz while you are at it.

Maybe you should quit crying about prices and start your own business where you give away 1000whp set ups for free. For people just like yourself who expect everything to be cheap.

Cry me a ******* river while you are at it.
