Thanks everyone! I now know less about tcs and scs than before by reading this section of the forum. I now plan to reread the entire thing minus Paul's random babblings. Paul, it does not take 9 pages of posts to prove you're right if you are, in fact, right. Quoting everyone's counters and picking apart their advice is not agreeing with 90% of what they're saying. It's trying to prove you're right. These guys know more about forced induction than you do. IT'S A FACT. Instead of trying to prove them wrong, LISTEN TO THEM!!

In the short term, yes, it isn't cost effective to use an intercooler. However, 3 months down the road when you've replaced your head gasket 4 times, it will seem really cost-effective. There are some good ideas when it comes to using electric motors, but not for turbos. It is best to go mechanically driven for turbos, since so much power is required to drive the electric motor. If you're really itching to stick an electric motor in your car, go with the electrically-driven water pump from batinc. And please, please don't quote this post. Last thing I need to see is a little box inside one of your posts with my words in it
