I know people have used the T3/T4 hybrid and i think someone has a greddy turbo on their box. I dont know, what kind of whp were you getting and what was your set up?
I think the downfall is looking for a bolt-on solution. I'd go standalone.

yea but when you go standalone, you lose your daily drivability and also things like your VSC, traction control etc...its something i wouldnt do unless its your second car.

I was going to go boost, but decided to take the shot at all motor since no one else is willing to do it. I run low 14's on slicks.

Good to see the update Tony. I really need to get by ClubxB more often. I assume you are posting updates there?
You still running 11:1? Are the cracking rods aftermarket or stock? Have you remedied the issue? And what all do you have done right now to his the 150 hp mark? Still running E-manage Ultimate, or have you switched to a stand alone?
It is encouraging to see someone forge their own path sometimes.

Correct. And there is no proof that any turbo or supercharger kit out for the xB puts down 180 whp either.
Rumor also has it that Tony now has an HKS Turbo and stand alone engine management on top of those 11:1 pistons. If this is the case, and he really did run a 12.6 in the quarter, I bet he has the quickest xB in the country right now. And that, with an automatic transmission.

I only said it was rumored because I haven't seen HIM post anywhere on it yet. I have spoken with Tony outside of the threads on here and Club xB. I beleive what he has to say as well. I just haven't seen him say anything about his setup yet.
I can't wait to see the information when he does.

Do you HONESTLY believe that the #'s on a production kit are going to be THAT different?
