great question, what company has the fastest production turbo system?

you may get a few 'just wait until ptk or hpturbo comes out!!!'

i have had my system for about a year now and have not found any weak links yet, and comparing components i see no way that another system could create more power on a t-4 flange. check the history on this board.. i am notoriously critical and HARD on equipment. this is good stuff.

1 vote for the turbotechnology race system.

Not many options out there for a true street/strip car. I am still looking for a nice kit where I won't have to hack my car up to make it work.

You don't have to hack up your car with the CAS kits. You keep evrerything (A/C, powersteering, etc. -- and in the stock locations). However those kits aren't readily available -- well except for the few for sale at the moment.

The only kit that has survived after some time seems to be the Turbo Tech kits.
CAS, Incon, QMP, and maybe others that I'm not mentioning are all gone.
Does Speed Inc have a kit out?
I'm going to sit back and watch what the PTK and HP Turbo kits can do.

MM: How much do you have invested in your TTi kit a far as the kit itself, fuel system to support it, etc?

coming from the man who has owned about them all.

but as of now Harlan has the best turbokit out there with his 8.29@166
but as for production, looks like the TTi kit is kicking it.

01superslow.. the list could go on and on about what it takes to support the kit.

if you are talking just fuel system then what i put together set me back about a grand including the pressure gauge

You can give Harlan the $2, rons 00z...I'll give him the zeros

But the car will be mine

Honestly, that's just too much damn power for me!
