So i read alot in magazines about how they just make their own turbo kits, buy all the neccesary parts and get a custom manifold made. it seems as if the only thing you need to do to turbocharge any car is get a custom turbo manifold and possibly a custom exhaust. is this true, or am i way off. Its not that i think the xfire is slow, but i just need more power. thats probably because my last car was a 350 horsepower first generation rx7. i like the xfire much, much more, but i just like racing in straight lines every now and then and i dont want to get spanked by an rsx type s with bolt ons. i want to avoid any sort of, "thats not what this car was built for" discussion, because i feel any car you get can essentially be made into what you want when it comes to speed. So please, only guys (and gals) with technical knowledge respond to the turbocharging question, thank you much.
If turbocharging involves more (im sure i would need an ecu upgrade too, but i already have a standalone unit from my last car) then ill probably go nitrous, like i was discussing in a previous topic. im just looking for a low boost app., like 5-9 psi, really looking to increase the midrange highway acceleration.
thanks again
