That is a clean setup. It looks like a single turbo. Is a single usually more reliable than a twin? I'm tempted to hold off and check out that system. I know that turbos are almost always going to give you more power than a comparable supercharger. My main concern is always reliability.

It is a single turbo system. its like a centrigual blower but a turbo instead...WAY more efficient cause theres no parisitic loss from the pulley. As for reliable Turbonetics is tuning this to be very reliable thats why they are stopping at 409 and 8 PSI. That turbo is efficient to just over 550. They have compressor maps on their page. Its the T04E-60 that the closet one to the turbo they are using. I'll Pm you with a little more info I got from Brad at Turbonetics.

Ernie, regarding the Axis Mod 7's. I love them. In fact, those were the rims I had ordered up in L.A. and they are getting chromed now as we speak. They are a staggered setup (20x9 & 20x10). I was going to put them on the Brickyard Z that I'm now selling. Since I already have the rims ordered in chrome...and you seem to like them...how about a decent offer and they're yours.

Mia, thanks for the info on the Turbonetics kit. I just checked out their website http://www.turboneticsinc.com/index.html and didn't see too much info for the Z yet. At this point I'm pretty set on the supercharger. It costs a little more but I like what I've read about the system so far.
Kit I actually have the silver mods ones in the pic,,,,,dont know if you saw them last night .......Jeffs Ride.eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrr your ride stole all the lime light Im gonna have to see those axis mods when you get them chromed ,,,,,,,,,I actually switched from the chrome 19s to the 20 axxis mods cause I like the silver with polished lip and I got such a great deal on them.........are you going to leave your beast as is or are you going with somthing else. cant wait til next week to meet up again.

They are shooting for around $5000 for the kit. Install costs should be close to what a Vortech install would cost. Around $1000-$2000. I can't say for sure until someone does one but I imagine it shouldn't be much. I'll know more on Friday.

Hey can someone help me. I want to reconnect my origional antenna. The reception on my roof antenna isn't as good. Just need to unplug the roof and reattach the stock one. So basically just need to pull the stock head unit out and switch plugs. I'm not good at that stuff, only with Vinyl.
