[QUOTE="Full_Tilt, post: 10355793, member: 114397"] Im not familiar with the turbo kit in particular, but if Im not mistaken its the one where the turbos are mounted real low by the trans? As much as I am a turbo fan, Im not a big fan of having to use a pump on the oil drains due to the Turbos being so low. On top of which it sounds like it would be difficult to both work on and/or upgrade. Its not like it used to be where Turbos were the obvious winner due to being capable of so much higher efficiency (compared to 2 lobe roots blowers). These whipples are so efficient and with the extremely good exhaust scavenging you get that you dont get with a turbo makes them really capable. Im honestly torn. Its really comes down to what youre going to use it for, and to some extent simplicity/reliability. If I were building a drag car or a weekend warrior street car, I would go turbo. If I were building a road race car or a daily driver, Id go S/C. just my $.02 [/QUOTE]
