Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance Turbo info?

People just don't understand turbo's, and with all the BS info floating around on the net, it aint going to get any better.
I feel sorry for Kris, is he is misguided and obviously has "more dollars than sense".
If you REALLY want a turbo so bad and want to make insane power, then the SVT is a waste of time.
Don't get me wrong, I love my SVT and would like it turbocharged too, but going into my garage and welding a series of pipes and hairdryers together without really thinking about it, throwing my money around is going to get me nowhere fast, and leave me broke with a car that will be at best, a POS to drive.
I would suggest you sell the SVT and buy something like a Supra or first generation DSM, then you can go after the 400hp it seems you are looking for without needing to to totally rebuild you car and hope that it doesn't grenade itself the first time to nail it.
I may sound like an a**hole, but I really don't care. I have written a thesis on trubocharging and have owned numerous vehicles, of different types and designs, including a very modified 300hp Eclipse GSX, so I know what's involved. You are just going abot it all wrong in that you are trying to acheive the goals you have set in the short period of time you have allocated yourself, and as such I feel sorry for you because at the end of the day you will be screwed.
