The ultimate turbo street setup!!!

OFI makes a kit that uses the S-series turbo already. Also you might want to check with KYTP. They are thinking about doing a kit with a T6 as well, which would work with an S-series turbo as well.

Just like Josh said, I'm trying to become as educated as I can that way I know exactly why I buy what I buy. If in the end I absolutely can't get the car to hook like I want, I'll just yank off the turbo and spray away w/a two stage or progressive unit, but hopefully that will never be necessary

I know of a couple, but they're never out racing and I've never seen one at thunder valley. I've been street racing in OKC for years now. What car is yours?

I was refering to a Precision PT88. I would be more than happy to do the Air Werks S88 setup for you. I can keep the pricing very close to the same as we talked about with that turbo. I dont mind eating a little profit to get a customer. It gives me the opprotunity to do another kit and build a new Jig. Just let me know. I am ready when you are.

I have twin gt66 dual ball bearing turbos with a 408 it makes 870 at 12 lbs and 1162 at 23 lbs at the wheels and you can drive around town like a stock car. never been in a big single car butt if twins dont hit as hard as a big single you dont want a big single. if you get a good boost controller you can slow down how fast the turbos hit full boost at what ever boost setting you have it set at .

Street racing was my game for a long time. Nitrous is great. I have used it. I learned along time ago that leaving hard on the street with a big hit of nitrous was hard to do. I jumped into the supercharger game which was just a bad (Vortech Mondo blowers). Then came the turbo's. A little bit of lag was great down low. I used the softer launch to hook on the street. When the big boost came on I was already moving and it was nice to have the top end pull the turbo gave me.
Its fun to beat proven low 10 second nitrous cars on the street with my 10.90 turbo car. Its all about what you want and how you set up your car.

"PINKS" is gay! My local buddies have been on that show and they've taken home two cars. One was the "wooly mammoth" and the other was some nasty ricer car that was from oregon. "Big Chief" was the negotiator of both and "Mullet Dave" was the driver for both races. They'll tell you that show was gay too! However they'll agree w/you and say how N20 will win the majority of the time. I'm of a different breed I guess...Boost junky! Nothing like it!

Agreed. That s88 is the latest and greatest.
