    Honestly, If I get another DD, I am probably going to put a crap turbo setup on one of my GTP's just for the fun factor of having a turbo over a supercharger. After I put a cam, exhaust, smaller pulley on any of my GTP's I would probably only be a few bucks away from putting a turbo on it.... My advantage now is that I have a few turbos, intercoolers, hot pipes laying around to make the process fairly simple.

    That's what I did with my dd. don't be a pu$$y. There should never be a doubt in your mind.



    The problem with the STS kit is the long lines that run with it. The turbo is oil cooled(unless you go ball bearing then its water cooled) the oil return line is gravity fed so keep that in mind. An intercooler for the m90 is more or less an "aftercooler." In that it sits under the s/c cooling the air after it's sucked in. And yes an intercooler is always a good idea before dropping pullies on the extreme end of the spectrum.
