I agree. It's your DD, just get a supercharger kit and be done with it. They're known to be easier on cars than TCs and depending on the kit, require less maintenance and are generally cheaper, easier install. Sure you may put down lesser numbers but again it's your DD. Where you gonna go on the streets where you want to let the turbo open up? With SC the power's always there, good for the streets imo.

The Turbonetics kit is inferior to the other turbo kits on the market and therefore is not very respected within the VQ community. So it definitely wouldn't be the best choice for the stated purpose of showing off or looking cool at meets.

Yep. If any of you remember Taurran, he upgraded his Turbonetics kit. By the time he addressed/resolved all the shortcomings, he had replaced or changed virtually the entire kit ...and still made only 500's with it.

For a single turbo app on a VQ with one wastegate, you shouldn't do anything smaller than a 44mm TiAL MV-R wastegate. The Turbosmart Hyper-gate 45mm and the Precision PW46 would be comparable choices.

Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna get a PL Kit and install it WHEN I have the money saved back to rebuild the engine, just in case. That's the way to go about it, imo. If you don't have the money set back to rebuild your engine, then you shouldn't be messing with FI.
