Will custommaxima's new turbo kit work with my 97 auto?

 

yes, i believe so, but you will have to re-enforce your tranny. VB mod etc. but if your putting a turbo in i would recomend getting a 5speed too, but that just my opinion

 

Is that the same as Nigel's kit?

 

same people..

 

I wish I had a 4th gen.

 

i thought there was a clearance issue with the auto taking up more space and not being able to get the piping through. maybe this was in the early stages of the install/design. or maybe i'm smoking crack...

 

check the last few pages of the turbo kit thread in the GD forum and you will get your answer..

 

just in case anyone was wondering and is too lazy to look, the auto kit is in fabrication right now, but there is no ETA. I'd wait for dyno results before ordering... then again, if you have $4200 burning a hole in your pocket (not to mention install) this is a good way to spend it.

 

I thought when Nigel first built turbo kit his point was to provide an affordable alternative to supercharger. This kit now at $4200 way too much money. I know its alot better than s/c but almost $1000 more. Plus, install is more time consuming&costly.
my-2c

 

Isn't the SC going for like $3995 now or somwthing? What a difference...

 

[then] don't buy it [if you don't like it]. his original idea was to have something that would be below $3500 or so, but look at the gains with SC and look at the gains with the turbo. there is no comparison.

not really, check stillen's site ~$3495
----------------
turbo=more power per dollar + fitment issues + no established reliability record.
s/c= you know...
I have enough money to buy 2 turbo kits but I only want to put 210-220hp to the ground, what are my options? I'd be interested in a low boost/buck version of the turbo kit.

 

Nigel Turbo Kit minus the Intercooler is $3500
Stillen Supercharger kit is $3495 + Shipping + Tax if you live in CA

so how is the Turbo kit that much more? and its putting out way more horsepower..

 

and the money is going to someone who deserves it, not the overcharging pigbastards at $tillen
