( though I would rather build it myself to save $ ) Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resale on a conversion would be crap and a lot of hassle to do the conversion is just not worth the effort when you can probably buy a modded factory turbo for less.

bjc Donating Members 2,823 Member For: 21y 3m 23d Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 17/04/12 06:23 AM Share Posted 17/04/12 06:23 AM You will want the turbo mate. I have owned both over the years as I supercharged my 6cyl AU Falcon S when they were first released and used the powerdyne kit back then, no intercooler. It had a custom 2.5in exhaust system with genie headers, adjustable electronic shift kit and with a plug in chip the car made 175rwkw on 7psi. It was a great car that once at 100km would just keep pulling hard to redline in 3rd.The downside was that this all cost me about $7k back then and seriously lacked low down torque compared to a turbo and also made little whine being a powerdyne. The vortechs are noisier when cold but once warm with good oil flow they tend to not make much noise either unless your using the straight cut gears and not belt driven models which if you went the vortech (most probably) you will be using belt driven.I'd personally go the Snort Performance turbo kits for bang for buck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
