I never said I was dead set on it. If it doesn't fit with the turbo on it I won't get it.
The top mount is cheaper, the Vulcan Turbo one is $400 (Add 50 for external wastegate flange)
I do, however, like the way the top mount looks. Its cool  |

You'll hate it, and grow some strong leg muscles. It's very driveable once you get used to it. Then again I've had to drive a few cars w/ twin disc setups. It's seriously like an on/off switch. You can bog the car w/o even thinking. It's not for the feint in heart.

you could intercool the supercharger, but it would have to be a custom setup, not the shit hEaton supercharger.....besides even with an intercooler you will outspin that puny 45 even the 62 before you make any real serious power.... |

Eventually on the G4088R.....
I want to enjoy the power in the low range while my goal is a lower range....
eventually I want to be in the 10's,
but first I'll break 12's and see where I am when the dust settles.... |

Haha. So the point between bogging it down and wheelspin is a very fine line? That's how the Volvo S40 T5 and S60R are. Just without the heavy pedal.

True. One second at a time. I figure H/O mani, 75mm LS1 tb, turbo, full 3'' turbo back catless exhaust, should sit me in the mid-low 13's to start... |

They come with a set spring in them for a certain boost pressure. Usually when you order it you can choose which spring you want and that will end up being your minimum boost pressure you'll be able to run on the engine. With a boost controller you can turn up the boost as much as you want, but you can never run below what the spring in the wastegate is set for.

You'd be best off getting a flange or something to match the HO manifold to the ports on the head. It's not just a bolt up and go type of deal. And why go catless? You can make the same amount of power with a high flow cat. Magnaflow #59959 is what you want...3" metallic high flow cat.

^lol nice^
found a REAL nice BOV cheap, a turbosmart one. Normally they run around 230 new. Got mine 50-new! The guy I got it from never used it, needed a higher HP capable one lol. So his loss is my gain |
