I already know that the turbo is the way to go for the contour application. I was just wondering what everyone thought in general. Tey both have advantages and disadvantages. take a look at this site it is the best one I have found on the subject.

Props to the guy for trying, but that sheet is pretty hard to follow, and I found at least a couple errors in a quick read.

The choice in a contour comes down to the actual implementation of the different systems avaiable. The vortech system has a very poor history of durability as applied to the contour, while the ADC turbo kit has a very good record.

The details of both can be found by searching this forum for people's experiences w/ both. Granted, the later Vortech kits are much better, but it is hard to make up for the 100% failure rate of the early kits.

Balance is the Key. rarasvt@comcast.net
