I didn't ask for specs of your Turbo, Mr. I'm-better-then the-Supercharged-Guys.

Quit rubbin' it in.

Both setups (SC and TC) have their strengths and weaknesses. I am not better than the SC guys.

Remember this... you can walk away from the TC guy at low RPMs. By the time he's starting to pull on you, cut over into his lane and flash your hazards.

How would a linear boosted SC Max pull on a "roots" type turbo Max at low RPM?? Are you just trying to make me feel better Kevish, or is their truth behind this?

I'm serious. It takes time for the turbo to spool (also depends on what turbo they have) if both cars hit it at the same time. So, you can pull away for a while... maybe 1/2 to 1 1/2 car length.

I'm talking LOW RPM... make sure he isn't rolling above 3k when both of you start... hard to do that though.

BTW, I'm kidding about pulling in his lane and flashing your hazards... it is VERY dangerous.

good suggestion

I totally understand, you get in front of them, slow down, and force them to go back to low rpm, then gun it again.

You've gotta be sh!ttin' me....seriously....I mean....are you serious!?

How is it that you are getting better MPG then I do and your running almost twice the boost? What's your fuel pressure at idle?

BTW, how many miles is on your car? I've always wanted to know that. I'm hitting the 77k mile-mark soon and people think that's high.

Yea. You musta bought your car with low low milage or new, becuase for almost 90 miles a day, 55k total is low.

Thanks. Did you just use a 90* elbow, straight length, and a short length of tube in between? All 3" I assume?

Yes 3" 90* elbow. The blower out put side is 2.75"OD and 2.5"ID. I went 3" cause I thought i needed it, prolly not. I think it might have been better to go with a 2.75" 90* and then a 2.75"-2.5" reducer. Or 3" to 2.5 set up.

Hes just a small tube in between.

I also but a thin piece of rubber hose cut open between the headlight harness and the hose becuase it rubs and the extra piece is a isolator.
