a full 5psi from 2000rpm-up?

[turbo740]

Hey Boosters,

Not that I dislike the turbo kits out there (I drive a VW 1.8T, too) but I'd like something a little more factory looking and not as "high-strung". I don't need 8psi...maybe 5psi. I'd be happy with a "real world" 20% increase in power across the entire power band. A nice Eaton supercharger setup (even an M40) would be plenty for me. Anybody have anything like this in the works? I've driven a few other 4cyl cars with this type of setup and it feels like a nice, well-mannered V6 pushing under the hood...not the high-strung pull of my turbo car. Our protege is a street car, never sees the track and probably never will. I don't want to waste my clutch every few thousand miles. I don't want to race VTECs or VR6's. I just want a little more NJ freeway power. I know this probably goes against the popular choice of this board but I thank you for looking.

Mike

Ever consider a smaller turbo like a t2 or t25? You would get full boost by about 2000-2300 rpm....but you would run out of steam by 4500 rpm

I haven't really considered it but I'll add it to the list of possibilities. Thanks.

Try contacting area 51 fabrication if you really want to get a s-charger, but expect to pay a pretty penny

Hey, Welcome to the board! Yeah, Terry (Spoolin) makes good turbo kits. If you were worried about wearing out your clutch, you could get an ACT clutch. I have this clutch on my turbo setup, and it is great! Just watch my signature below for the model number.
