You know my answer.

[B]No... I wouldn't want to deal with the heat issues and turbo timers (esp. with a MT).
Is it because you can't park in gear? Other than that, I don't see what the downside is with a TT.
Same with a SC.

Yes, actually I am. I guess the whole linear boost thing just wasn't what I was looking for. Car never felt that fast even though it was.
So the SC is removed, and I'm in the process of getting/building a turbo.

After riding in both S/Ced and Turboed maximas, I would take the turbo any day. The sound and midrange power is incredible!

Torque is much better too.

I rode along in both a turbo and SC'ed 4th gen. I believe both were running the same amount of boost, but was two completely different experiences.
I just depends on how you like it: good and hard, or nice and gradual.
wait.......... you know i'm talking about boost, right?

Hi, I'm 16/virgin/female and will be buying a used Maxima when I get my license. When you say "know you're talking about boost", what do you mean?

If their was a turbo kit available when I got the SC yes I would have gone with it. However now that I have the SC and its VERY fast anyways its not worth it to re-engineer my car nor is the money worth it. Leme put it like this SC@14psi+35shot=Turbo@14psi.

If I already had an S/C and I had a buyer for my S/C waving cash in my face, I would consider switching, depdending on how much more I would have to spend for the turbo kit.
Maybe you should try and get a drive in a turbo max to help your decision

We all know a Roots type setup would be killer on a Maxima. Or at least the V1/V2 with a better gear ratio for quicker spool up. Damn the dirty dogs at Stillen/Vortech, damn them to hell.
