Im making 230whp with a 75 shot.. What would bolting on a turbo give me? 290ish??
You just get more power out of a turbo.
This thread sucks because of posts like these. Installing a "turbo" does not give an exact amount of horsepower, nor does installing "nitrous." Take the low boost setting of a T-28 kit(~4psi) and you make probably 230whp. Hmmmm, take a 50 shot with some bolt-ons, and you do the same thing.  Go to a higher boost setting on that same T-28 kit and make 280whp. Well, I'll be damned, you can up the nitrous jets and run a 125 shot and do the same thing!
My point being, you don't get more HP from one or the other, just by installing it. Both give relatively similar results when at the same power levels, both HP and TQ. I was making 281HP and 289TQ with my Venom kit, so does that mean I needed tranny upgrades any less than Stazi, in his 295whp and 280wtq turbo car? Mmmmmmm, no.
