i come from a diesel background, especially a performance background which is why i'm off on some of my gas termsbut i love turbos, just don't know about one on a car, haven't seen too many of them and want to know more about them. like ease of install, driveability, how it reacts to the weather, we go from 100+ this summer to -10 or so on average throughout the year, but this car will mainly be a spring summer fall driver anyway. is a turbo faster than supercharger, is it necessarily more safe than a sc?
A turbo setup will cause less stress on the engine then an equivalent supercharger because it doesn't use a belt, so it doesn't need the extra hp required to turn the belt. A turbo setup that makes 450 to the wheels is causing less stress on the engine then a supercharger that makes 450 to the wheels.
what the difference between a turbo and a belt powered pro charger?
They both work on the same principle, just one is driven by a belt and the other by exhaust gas.
will this turbo react like one in a truck? sorry for all the newbie questions guys!
A well designed turbo setup will act just like a supercharger. The so called turbo lag is a thing of the past. With the new turbo designs, in a properly sized setup, it will spool quickly and make great power. Give Jeremy at S&H a call and he can answer all your questions about turbos. If you want another option then give Jim Napier at Turbohorsepower.com a call. I have Jim's twin kit on my car and he also makes a single kit. Jim is great to work with and will answer all your questions. Jim's kit will be a little more money, then the S&H kit and isn't quite as complete but it will have a little better ground clearance.
Get the GT500, with just a couple of fairly inexpensive mods it will be making 600rwhp. If you are having someone do the work on yours it would take about $30,000, or more, on your 05 to come close to the GT500 and you would still only have an 05 GT as far as value.
