OK, Im getting pretty damn close to pulling the trigger on a turbo kit but cant decide which kit to purchase......

Hellion Single Turbo Kit - $5995.00 (62mm Turbo) No base tune

I emailed hellion 3 days ago to ask some questions about their kit and havent heard anything back. Kind of makes me wonder about their customer support

HP Performance Twin Turbo Kit - $6395.00 (Twin 50mm Turbos) Includes base tune

Will be calling them tomorrow

I currently have a stock bottom end.

What do you all think?

For what reason? That was my original thought, but after not hearing back from them in 3 days Im worried that their customer service sucks.

Plus, twins would be sweeeeet. Haha.

And wouldnt twins spool quicker for more low end torque? This is a daily driver, so I need power down low quick.

UGH! This is the toughest decision Ive ever made about a car!!!

I am not a turbo mentor, but from what I understand a turbo will not give you down low fast. A screw will give you that. As far as spooling faster I don't know.

I liked the hellion because you can add a supercharger to it and it looks bad ass. THe customer service could be a downfall. But i would look into a Twin screw or roots s/c if you want down low.

I have been toying with the idea of a Kenne Bell for a couple weeks now, but I already know how to tune a Turbocharged car. Thats a main reason for going this way.

Besides, everyone has Kenne Bells. Theres not too many people out there with turbos.

Is it for a modular or pushrod motor??

From your choices, I would go with hellion. Why? because HP sucks balls when it comes to customer service. They make a nice kit, but they will have you waiting for parts for 6 months!. Hellion has their kits on the shelves, ready to be shipped.

Now, if it is for a pushrod motor, get a B&G kit.

Yea Im going with the hellion kit. I spoke with a few different people regarding both kits and I guess the HP kits have fitment issues, take 4 months to get you the parts, and then dont help you at all after the sale.

Save yourself a lot of aggrevation and don't buy any of them. Build your own kit. You'll save a load of money and have a better kit then you could ever buy.

Turbo lag is almost a thing of the past with the new turbo technology. That's why you see most of the Outlaw cars with turbos on them now. The future is looking bright for them but I like my spray too much to switch LOL
