Re: TT prices (DanielJordan)
What is the price range for a Twin Turbo install. What is the least expensive option with that is worth considering. What advantage is a Twin Turbo of a Super Charger?
TT over an SC - many just prefer to have Turbo rather than Supercharged for a variety of reasons. SC requires a belt and it uses a small amount of engine HP just to run itself (known as parasitic loss). Belts have also been known to come off, shred, etc. TT's generally offer more power in the lower RPM Band mainly because most SC's are centrifugal (such as ATI and Vortec). A roots-type SC however, such as the C5 magnacharger, offers that same low end power as the TT (actually, even lower in the band). The Centrifugal SC's offer great mid - high band power and thus, many feel that the Centrifugal SC's stress the engine far less than TT's.
Those are just some basics without making the post into a book. Hopefully others will chime in and offer some different views.

Re: TT prices (diynoob)
Another thought...get someone who knows what they're doing to tune your TT. Twin turbos can be very difficult to tune and finding an experienced person to do it is essential.
That said, if I get the money I would go to TTs in a second. :cheers:

You can get a stage 1 TTi kit for around 11,000 installed which will give you a solid 6-7 #s of boost and over 400rwhp. Or buy my slightly used kit for 5,900.00 install for around a grand and spend around 7 grand.

Just a note -- I talked to Andy the other day about how much loss a D1SC incurs, and he said it can be as high as 100hp.

What is amazing and kind of scary to me is a drive belt that small can transfer that much power and survive. Look at the size of the belt on a GMC blower.
