Default Going Turbo

Please don’t have a heart attack if someone’s posted this already. but I’m thinking of going turbo on my 08 xb since all the reading I've done on the sc seems to be negative and plus it's discontinued I just have some questions for you turbo guys..

What's the most reliable kit that’s not super expensive and I won't have a bunch of problems? It doesn’t need to be super fastI’m just looking to break at least 230hp with stock clutch and internals. Also whats the average install time and price?

Thank you

We have the 2 different kits on our website for the World Racing/Descendant. Here is the complete bolt on and go kit:

If you have a tuner available in your area we have the cheaper version here:

http://www.trdsparks.com/displaypart...&parts_id=3278

These kits are both great in their own and produce around 300HP to the wheels. The complete bolt on & go kit is amazing and doesn't need any tuning. This is simply you install it and start it without tuning anything. The tuner friendly version needs a tuner before you can drive the car.

Judging by the beginning of your post, you should go with the Descendant/World Racing kit.

Default s/c options

Are there any s/c options now that the TRD Supercharger is dead? Sometimes the simplicity of a s/c is better for a small boost.
