Turbo or Supercharger ?

So you're saying that at 8lbs the kit does not heat soak and pull timing? From a design standpoint it's flawed. That doesn't mean it can't work, jut that it's far from ideal. I'm convinced they did it that way to get the CARB cert. if they didn't have that to deal with, I doubt they would have made some of the compromises they did.

You're right, if you don't ever plan on pushing the kit it can work. I'd still replace the heat exchanger for a little peace of mind.

Oh absolutely you can improve on the design from stillen. Then again you could improve on just about every kit made.

I am simply getting back to the topic of this thread. You can put a stillen kit on, and it will work. It will give you more power. It will be much more power than bolt ons. It will not cost a ton to buy one used. If I was OP this is what I would do.
