you make a good point their if it was a leased car and if it was time to give it back it could be easy to take off. but then again you would have to store all the peices you took off and hope you still have everything.

blowers take power to make power, a small S-Trim vortech takes 60-75hp to spin 45,000rpm not to mention the added rotational mass and vibration on the bearings if the blower pulley were to be misweighted or not aligned properly, not to mention inevitable belt slippage...and roots blowers make ALOT of heat. you will not make more power with a blower at the same pressure,compairable airflow capabilities, and equal efficiency as you will with a turbo.

i will not deny the fact turbo's love heat, its expanded..as it cools the air denses down...but for some whacky reason, dont ask me why, but the turbo companies had this cooky idea to use different aspect ratios on the hotside.

you could also quit acting like you know what your talking about, and not look retarded, but that wouldnt make sense, because 95% of this board never makes things easy on themselves.


as for theft, that was one of the 1st things i talked about with rick at STS when they had just developed the 1st kits, he was looking to set some up for sea level (his initial kits were done at 4000+ feet, avg DA was almost 6000' he said) and was offering them cheap for test subjects. really no way to prevent it, if someone wants it they will get it with a saw on the piping.

ok i dont mind people saying im wrong and use fact to prove me wrong. i encourage it tell me why im wrong its the only way to learn. but i already had admited i dont know much about turbos in general in many other threads ive posted on on these forums. so fuck off. no where have i ever said i am a turbo expert or that ive been playing with turbos for 30 years. go ahead and search both my names rotary buddha and projectredsuns. while your at it search on rx7club.com because i dont admit it their either. so once again fuck off and have a nice day.

Away from the source of heat or not, there's still going to be PLENTY of pressure in the exhaust as long as theres no leaks.

i wasnt calling you retarded, i was calling the other guy retarded, for cluttering a thread with useless not exactly factual information about where stuff "belongs" and all his other little bull crap...i prefer my injectors in the head, in the cylinder even.

I know which car he's talking about. My buddy's girlfriend's cat's onion-ring dealer has it. Must not be the same guy though.

(OT) I wouldnt leave the cat on if i got that turbo, I'd make a heat shield for it that looks like a cat and put it where the cat goes
If anyone askes what all the other pipes are for just say it's to the upgraded smog pump.
