Thread: Best gains for dropping $2000 into a GTP

I'm assuming that by adding this $2400 turbo kit and getting more boost than I can get with a intercooled supercharger that I would have the exact same issues as I would with having too much boost from a supercharger. Think about this, I could Whipple charge it and get way more performance than a basic turbocharging kit, but then again that would be more money yet. It just depends on how much money you want to spend and I'm not willing to stick all that much more into this car. There are plenty of N/A cars that will smoke turbocharged and supercharged cars. Its not like its impossible to have a mean GTP without going turbo. I'm not looking to stomp every single car I run into. Thats stupid to think that you will unless you have some unlimited source of money or plan on building up your car over a period of 20 years.

In addition to that whats the point of having a GTP if your not gonna have it be supercharged?

You could buy like 10 of these cars for how much it costs to whipple one, just stick with the M90 if you don't want a turbo.

Nah its actually not too bad to throw a whipple on if you can find the kit. Usually around the 2-3k mark for the ax140 kit.

You can also do a MP112 kit too. Ive seen em go for around 2k more or less.



I will say this midnight you are the model for every domestic > import redneck out there dude lol. Oh btw no S/C GP will ever make more power then a Turbo setup. Just saying

You asked for the best gains while dropping 2k. Guess what you will make the most power for 2k on a turbo kit. They can be had for that price all over the forums.

Your deff right about the money aspect but I will say this if you shop around you'll find deals everywhere. Ive saved probably 70% off what everything would of cost new for my entire setup.

I may be an oddball for thinking like this but I would like to make something different than what the crowd is making. Just to be different. Sounds like turbochargers are all the rave these days. Last time I was on here barely anyone was talking about them. Then something else will come out that will be better than turbocharging. How about a procharger? All the benefits of a turbocharger and a supercharger combined.

I'm not arguing with ya I'm just bustin balls lol

Turbo is different although they are becoming more popular because they require less wrenching lol

Most unique setups are the CSC kits and other then that the whipple kits and mp112 kits.

Procharger = brand of centrifugal supercharger

The benefit of a turbo is that it runs off exhaust. The downfall of the S/C is that it is belt driven.

Here are pics of a novi csc kit (Zuulmusic's kit off of GPN)
