Hopefully you can get it tuned better and turn up the boost or I'd be pissed blowing $18 grand for little to no performance advantage over a blower.

A setup like moe's doesnt run a magical number right off the bat. Turbo setups take time to get the tuning dialed in and all the little things worked out. I think his results are solid being they are shakedown runs. Great work moe and thanks for posting up this info!!

do you have the dyno graphs of each set up? I would love to see the difference in curves!

Thanks, I might still have one of the supercharger graphs, I usually dont keep them since I just use the Dyno for tuning but that would be very interesting as you say to look at the power curve difference.
