well, i will be building up my tc, and i have a couple of questions regarding that. i want to reach 200hp or above, and i am not sure which route to take. i can either go with the ZPI stage 0 turbo kit, but i am skeptical of it making 230 hp without a intercooler. i know that they have done their research and all, but wont the turbo over heat, or cant this cause problems to the engine? or the other option is the trd supercharger which is around the same price, but i would be getting ZPI's pulley which is said to add 21hp, so all in all you get 210 hp!! i am looking towards the s/c but still am undecided. my tc is my daily driver so take that into consideration. also what size exhaust should i be using 3inches right?

 

Go with the SC man, and wait a few months for the market to be flooded with goodies for it

 

every1 knows t/c is aftermarket~ and s/c is more safty and legal~ so if i were u, i would go s/c .BTW, t/c sounds nice on the road so that every1 knows u r t/cer~~lol

 

Since you're from CA I say S/C all the way....no need giving the police a reason to pull you over. Besides many parts are starting to come out for the TC just imagine the parts for the SC that are soon to be coming out.

 

As for that zpi stage 0, theres no law stating you cannot add an intercooler to it. If you are skeptical... add one. As for helping you choose.. I got nothing... I personally love turbos so just get what you feel is best.

 

All personal preference. 2.5" exhaust + spipe will be fine.

 

Don't go with a 3" exhaust unless you're pushing higher numbers. You'll lose power on the low end if you do. From what I've seen, big exhausts only help in drag races and makes daily driving less fun.

If you're in Cali, the S/C might be a better bet since it comes with a CARB exemption sticker. Check out what ZPI has in the works. They have a lot in the works for both the t/c and the s/c.

 

I take it you are in socal? S/C man... and wait for a better pulley... ones coming out soon.

 

Get the supercharger....

That blower will get well over 350hp when your ready to pursue it and there's some sort of intercooling available

Plus is CARB LEGAL

There's your answer.

 

ditto, i live in cali and i have the s/c. everything legit!
