Boost or Buy Boosted?

I appreciate everyone's input. Of course, if I bought a TTZ I would take it to someone to make sure it was done right. The one rj has for sale

I appreciate everyone's input. Of course, if I bought a TTZ I would take it to someone to make sure it was done right. The one rj has for sale on this forum seems very legit, and I can afford it... after selling mine of course. Overall that would be the cheaper and easier option... to buy one already boosted.

I'll admit, I don't know enough right now to start my own build. When it comes down to it, I don't have the skills or tools needed to do any of the labor myself, which is why I'm considering a turnkey solution. I want lots more power with the least amount of effort (call me lazy), but it sounds like there's plenty of risk involved with inheriting someone else's build.

I’m saving my pennies for a boost myself and also have no tools, time or ambition for a self install so I know exactly how you feel.

I’ve decided that Top Gunz air to air SUPERCHARGER system is perfect for what I need. I’d love a twin turbo, but it’s totally overkill for a DD. Not hating, Spooler!

He just came out with an upgraded system (duel intakes and many other upgrades) that I’m anxiously awaiting Dyno numbers on. Next Thursday is the day.

All in price with kit, injectors, e85 fuel return, clutch, tune, installed (and some miscellaneous stuff I forget off the top of my head) was just south of $12,000.

Should put the WHP in the 550 to 600 range at 9lbs of boost. More than enough for me as a grocery getter.

You won't make 550-600 on 9psi. But, those numbers are easily achieved.

Just off the dyno. 9lb gets you 527 WHP on pump gas. Projects to be over 600 WHP on Corn.

I’m sold!
