That being said, the turbos probably sound much cooler and certainly look awesome as well. This kit does look pretty thought out and very clean.
Exactly...I expected the turbo setup to make more power per pound of boost because there is no parasitic pumping loss. However my question was not really answered. I was wanting to know if the turbos would allow more power with the same fuel system limitations. For example, most supercharger kits tap the stock fuel system around 580whp on 93. Now being the Turbo system makes another 75whp at the same boost level, does that mean this setup does not max the stock fuel system until 650whp due to the increased efficiency of the turbos? If so then that would off set some of the cost difference between this setup and the other options because fuel system upgrades are expensive.
