Sit back and watch. Crack some beers open while you're at it. It's gonna be 6 to 8 weeks before we have everything ready to go.

My question for you Hondadna4, when was the last time you saw someone post a picture of a $6,000 turbo that they had? Surely this signals that I am earnest in my desires to put a turbo on my car!

Now I almost feel like you are mocking me. Where is the hating getting you?

Speaking of variable vein technology...

I'm sorry you mis-read my post...I like the principles behind variable vein turbo technology. Heck, I like anything boosted...except my wife's 1.4L turbo Chevy Cruze. I had a boosted 1.6L sohc motor producing >400whp; I'm well versed in the world. I wish you luck on your mission; I will only provide insight, thoughts, & opinions to help you along.

I've been here a pretty long time and not that people want to discourage you or negative. It's just that some of the supercharged is350's didn't produce big numbers for the money. Obviously you know fuel management is hard cause your working with someone. To a lot of us even me don't see wasting that much r n d and money for small gains when the end result is less power then a isf (could be wrong). I would love to see one done , goodluck and hope you don't dump too much money before its over.

I only have left to purchase a piggy-back ECU and a Blitz R-VIT DS (If I can ever find one). After that it's time to fab. Might pick up some PPE Engineering headers but we will see.

Good luck OP, even if the gains are minimal many people on here would like to have a boost IS.
