You may have already read these threads:

You'll be pretty informed about the turbo stuff. Those threads gave me a pretty good idea of what I was getting into when I decided I was going to turbocharge my car.

There are at least two big threads on "turbo vs supercharger/procharger", so you can find all the opinions you'll ever need in either of those.

Good luck and thanks for your service!

Default Incon tt?

I saw some nice INCON TT kits in the sales section not to long ago and the stock Garrett GT 26 ball bearing turbos what come with the kit kick *** and are a very proven turbo . Im actually going back to a INCON TT myself here next weekend .Ill be trading with a buddy of mine here locally. Im giving him my APS TT kit with upgraded LG turbos for his INCON TT kit which has brand spanking new Garrett GT35R turbos that he just bought with a brand new never used set of the newer INCON hoses. He's building a 427 and my turbos will better feed his build and these smaller GT35's will better feed my smaller 364ci. My ride should feel so much stronger and come to life MUCH faster with this setup and these freakin GT turbos are practically bullet proof.
I just wished looking back that i would have just keep my INCON TT instead of selling it to buy this APS TT. Just too much bullshit IMO that had to be worked out before finally getting this APS right

PS,,,,Whats your engines CR now Jheath 5193 ?
