[QUOTE="ATS, post: 16608169, member: 200583"] Nate’s comment: “I didn't read the entire thread, but I've had both blowers on multiple cars and my opinion falls in line with what everyone else is saying. 2.3 TVS is a blast and the removable inlet is very sweet. You don't realize how sweet until you are removing an entire blower multiple times a year for random stuff. With that being said... the gen 3+ 2.9 is leaps and bounds better than the smaller 2.3 TVS. [U]I currently have a gen 4 2.9 on pump gas and (although I haven't had it dyno'd/tracked yet) it *feels* every bit as fast as any of my TVS cars and even my gen 2 2.9 e85 car.
