OK heres an analogy Scott Two engines both are force inducted engines type does not matter. Imagine both are hooked to an engine dyno. Engine number 1 has a brake attached to its crankshaft. Both engines make the same power at the crank when running equal manifold pressure values. Now take the engine with the brake and start applying braking friction..and applying more manifold pressure to compensate for the brake until it achieves the same power as the un restricted engine. BOTH engines are now making the same power as the dyno sees it but you cannot honestly tell me that BOTH are seeing the same stress levels even though the power produced at the crank is the same. That is the difference between a turbo engine and a supercharged engine

well tony now that you cleared up an issue that had been agreed upon already...

TDC makes kits but very few.
they are almost always on backorder.

SO IS INCON the other mustang turbo manufacturer.
incon supposedly gives more power? hmmmmm look them up too if youre into turbos

if theyd come off the price a little bit theys sell more and thus make more money over-all though less per unit (mechanics and engineers dont take economics apparently)

Thank you for being an ass :rollseyes: it was not cleared up when he made the comment that 500hp is 500 hp regardless of supercharger loss.
