what ... you think you know about turbos?









young folks always think things are easier than they turn out to be.

Haha well said!!

Why put twins on a stock block?

I dont know how much they are...but there are a bunch of decently happy ON3 performance turbo guys on the corral forums.

But i think they can give say a KB kit a run for which is most expensive. For the options available today it is hard to simply say a turbocharger set up is more expensive. There are wayyyy too many variables involved. Sure...you can find a used Vortech setup for dirt cheap. But then there are KB chargers that cost a lot new. So...what is the comparison based off of?


Both need fuel upgrades. Both "should" get ignition upgrades. No gain or savings there.

Many will attack the quality of ON3, but there are happy customers. I see the "young guy" mentality here...especially a claim of 18psi on a stock motor....i hope he realizes thats a grenade waiting to blow. But in reality, this young guy just doesnt realize the type of board he posted to. Kurt for instance, has said on multiple occasions how horribly expensive turbo setups are. Is he wrong? No. But there are more options than just that set up our there that dont cost that much.


If he made this thread in the turbo section on the corral....it would be a different result.

Twins will blow a stock block if ran at "max".
A single will blow it.
A supercharger will blow it.


So...pick your poison.


And....keep researching. If you dont get the response u want...keep researching. Some of the "special" guys around here wouldnt be special if they did what the general public said was the "right" thing to do.

Only thing with a Turbo is all the mounting unless u go with sts rear mounts. Single will also have alot less lag and put down more efficient power. Turbos might have more modification that needs to be done for fit and everything but will be alot less then a nice supercharger kit with an intercooler

Also be best and you'll get the most out of it if you get a 306 or 347 stroker kit (low compression one) car will be a beast I did this with my 95 cobra over the summer

a single with less lag and more efficient power? I thought twin setups traditionally spool quicker with more efficient power?

Hmm $1500 is doable....

But with all the hours spent you could have just got Banked your pay checks and saved some bloody knuckles.

But IF you do it .....AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO!!! I need a single turbo kit. So bend a second kit to the same dimensions. ... and engineer it for a turbo around 80-100mm.

BTW factor in the money for tuning and "supporting mods.

OR DO A LSX SWAP AND GET YOUR TURBO LIKE HP WITHOUT A TURBO!!!:SNSign:

But in all honesty Get a Trickflow HCI kit...I promise you'll love it. Or build a stroker on a stand.

To 94gtmustang5.0 traditionally you would think that but just because you have two turbos doesn't mean more power. if you have a single Turbo setup its gonna take less to spool it and have better throttle response therefore limiting boost lag. And I friends with both twin and single setups sometimes twin might put down a bigger number but what good is it if you can't put it to the ground because of the lag. No matter what twin setup will have more lag unless its a sequential setup where there's one big Turbo and one small one that spools Tue big one so there is no lag what so ever

This thread should be a sticky

LMAO
