[QUOTE="Trick Pony, post: 5991533, member: 46397"] Having lived in CA I know that car stuff and especially labor costs a lot more there. Here in TX you can get a Hellion twin turbo kit for $7k installed at a local shop! If you're talking about a given hp level that the twin screw is capable of making, then sure it's more bang for the buck compared to a turbo car making the same power. But the fact is even a base level turbo kit (say twin 56s) has more potential for more hp in the future than a big twin screw. This is important to me because horsepower is a degenerative disease that always leaves you wanting more no matter how much you make. As mentioned before, turbos are also more efficient and easier on the engine due to parasitic losses from turning the blower and more heat generated. So they make more power at the same boost level, are easier on the motor, and are capable of running higher boost levels too. [/QUOTE]
