Do your homework son, you need to go on Amazon.com and purchase all the turbo performance manuals you can afford. Then you can answer your own question. It really depends on how you plan to drive the car. IE, autocross, straight line rocket, or street cruiser etc, etc.
They hide the information in books, I know it sucks, so start reading! After you get done reading all the tech books you will find most of these aftermarket turbo companies, just bairly know what the heck they're doing.

corky bell's maximum boost will answer your question very very well ... being pre med you will breeze through it in one day. i read it in a few hours back in highschool when i was interested in turbo kits ... built my first kit that same year from scratch.

great book.

if horsepower tv says it works, IT WORKS! Damn after looking through their products, I am seriously thinking about purchasing a kit with my tax returns! Can you imagine it? a regular crossfire beating up on an srt-6??

yes it works, but it's not a rock solid reliable and ruggid system. it's great if you stick to the track, but I wouldn't want to run that system on a street car. it looks too risky. The little oil pump that feeds the turbo is what worries me the most.

LOL, it's 13 pages long covering the same thing over and over, and we always reach the same conclusion.

no, but it looks a little shaky to me, what if some one backs into a parking spot, an strikes the pipes, turbo or rips the oil line off on a curb. yet it has it's advantages and disadvantages I guess. why what so special about this system anyways do you work for the company or something?

The system works. Ive seen it first hand on a TA and Silverado truck. We actuall built a FMIC for the TA utilizing this kit. The problem is there is excessive piping meaning 10 times more chances for boost leaks at the couplers as there are more of them. Gorund clearance is limited too. Not to mention the oil return line ran all the way back to the engine oil filler cap . Plus the filter in the rear definitely is defeinitely exposed to the elements.

But it works....technically. Interesting to say the least...

cool,, but that's just not reliable for me, I have no trouble getting headers made up for a turbo, but I think it would be a lot easier to use a centrafugal, or a cheap roots blower off of a Buick or Pontiac SSI

LOL I love these threads that go NO WHERE


UNTIL RIGHT FREAKIN NOW LOOK WHAT I HAVE FOUND FOR ALL YOU N/A CROSSFIRES http://www.performanceinjectionequip...mi_turbo_kits/

This is the first kit I have seen with pictures and proof the car actually runs here is straight from the site.

"Make no mistake, we LOVE HEMI’s around here, but we love tuning and turbo charging even more which is why you’ll find us offering turbo kits and tuning programs for just about any Chrysler branded vehicle out there. Check back to follow along on our build-up of a Turbo charged Chrysler Crossfire, Chrysler Aspen and Dakota R/T."

here is what it looks like on a crossfire

I am sure someone posted this under twin turbo if I remember right
