Plese correct me if im wrong. :) But I was told by Geoff from Snort that the standed ECU will cope with the stage 3 (?) kit at 8psi or less. That was what I was going to do until recently. :wink:

my tuner still is against superchargers, recomends turboing my car and tunning for 0-100

he says that the modern turbos dont take long to spool up and produce more off the line power than the supercharger any one agree with this?

my tuner also does a turbo kit which is exactly 5grand dyno tuned new parts, and intercooled

is there any way to get past the high compression i have to turbo my car or streghten it to handle the compression????

Google how turbo's and superchargers work.

A turbo that spools instantly like my supercharger is going to be pretty small.

Only way to get quick off the line with a turbo is to sit there spooling it up. Buy the time you've got boost, supercharger guy will be gone.

Also it'll be much harsher on drive line components.

i already know how both work and how the diffrent chargers work, which is why i picked out the twin screw to begin with because it seems to be the best of both worlds

i guess a small turbo is what i would be after then as i dont drive ovr say 110

you should be selecting a super/turbo charger to suit the usable revv range you want to use it. has very little to do with speed and more like what rpm you come on boost or top out etc.

if you want quick 0-100 and dont go over that then get a 4.11:1 diff.......

Just use a BA XR6T Turbo.
They're plenty responsive got a 4L.
easily available, reliable and plenty of upgrade potential.

yer but to get that conversion done it costs 6500bucks from my tunner which incluies him instaling it, wiring to el dash and s**t, modifing engine bay s**t, and a dyno tune

and ineed my car for work so i could only have off say 1 week at max with out my car, so would be better just to turbo my engine i recon, unless i got fired

I'd say go for that. At least the BA donks are built for boost, and are heaps reliable (in stock and even mildly modded form). And with 240/245 or even up to say 300rw you'd have a quick E series.

This was at the Capital All Ford Day on Sunday.
