Stuck on the fence - Procharger or TTI Single Turbo??? I have been reading lots, it seems s tho the turbo has more down low punch, and that's what i am looking for...but, I will lose my longtubes.....
What the hell do I do, I have been considering HCI, but figure I might as well go big or go home.
Please offer some opinions and views....
Thx.

yup. make sure you have some extra "just in case" money set aside. even mroe so if you go the turbo route... since more power it just a few clicks away !!
i'm going procharger cuz i dont trust myself, i hear boost is really addicting and i'd the be one goin... whats another 2 lbs of boost? hhmm....
if your going from a bolt on car to boost, regardless of your choice i don't htink you'll be dissapointed. procharger is less maintenance if thats an issue

Prochargers seem to be much more of a install tune and forget item compared to turbo's that seem to always need some sort of attention. Id preffer a turbo, but with the prices of the kits that i actually considered a quality setup, i wasnt willing to spend it. I chose the procharger for the less aggravation and headaches and considering KP has shown that they are pretty much able to break into the 8's (he will do it one of these days!) what more could you ask for?
Reliable and good up to a high high 8 second pass = procharger D1SC. Oh and they are a couple grand less overall also!

procharger for simplicity.... if you wanna go in the 8's just grab a F1R blower and get it to the ground...
my first shake down pass it trapped 105 in the 8th...

Here we go again lol.
I say just do some research and try to find some local guys that have decent running supercharged or turbo cars like yours and see what you like. Anyone who knows what they are doing can make either run very well. Its not a black and white issue and there several pros and cons to either setup.
Either way its a lot of work, time and money so the best thing you can do is do some research and make your decision based on what YOU want and not what other people THINK you want..

The power delivery from each setup is going to be different. Try to get a ride in one of each. Turbo cars DO have turbo lag, but they will still make more boost sooner (at lower RPM) than a centrifugal blower. You just have to get used to the delay (which can be very minimal, or very large, depends on many factors), or learn to drive around it.

Turbos can make some killer numbers, but I have no desire to get rid of the D-1SC on my '02 and stick a turbo on. Love the reliability and low maintenance of the Procharger, as well as excellent driveability and good gas mileage (if I keep my foot out of it )
I just wish I had an 8-rib set up instead of the 6-rib. Have had a little bit of belt slippage now and then. Recently tightened it up again and it seems allright, but one day I'll go to an 8-rib.
