I mis took what you said then. Yes you can install a nitrous kit wayyyyyy faster than a turbo setup.

Still, nitrous just can't keep up with a boosted set up. Why you think so many people are leaving the nitrous world and at the events they give the nitrous cars weight breaks?

Love the factory colour scheme! By far the best looking fairmont of the bunch.

If i had to pay for a turbo kit or be given a nitrous kit, you know damn well im taking the nitrous kit, but dont let the smooth taste fool you. I have a full f body turbo system in my garage.

I know what the banner is for. Just thought it was funny. I'm posting in a forum full of people with truck manifolds flying a header banner for the very same reason.

No turbo... it should be driving in less than a week...lol However, he will have to fab some kind of "exhaust" for it. Curious to see how this pans out, it does look like a nicer car. Looking forward to an update video on this one.

I do believe he'll get bored with 1/2 the power he had in the turbo cars..... and it will get one eventually..

How hard would it be to keep A/C on one of these swaps in these cars and do a turbo setup? It may have been covered before, but I missed it. Is there room enough to run everything needed for the turbo and still be able to mount the compressor on the engine and the condenser, all that A/C stuff.

id just build a forward facing y pipe and a 3 inch exaust now so all you have to do is cut in the turbo and run it. id have a hard time going n/a if I had that nice turbo collecting dust.

I like the stock 5.3 and 60e combo for this one.
