Hello fellow Boost junkies!!!

Well I'm not positive on what i really want to do yet, but just hearing some opinions might help. I am currently Comptech Supercharged with a 3.2" pulley making 355whp 215wtq.
I would prefer to go equal length manifold and run E85 with a duel fuel pump set-up and ID2000 or ID1000 injectors, BUT....... I already have a brand new InlinePro Stage 1 kit sitting in my closet.

The InIinePro kit does have a few upgrades from just the basic kit. Ball Bearing 6165re turbo, 800hp intercooler, oil relocation kit, Tial 44mm watesgate.

My question is, I do a lot of autocross for fun too, so i was just wondering if it would be worth the hassle and $$$ of going turbo instead. My only reason for going turbo would be because i want more power. Haha. And would the InlinePro kit be an upgrade or downgrade compared to my current set up.

I'm thinking i have all the parts to make it an easy switch over other then maybe an electronic boost controller.

Its amazing how much boost/power you lose on these kits when running an fmic. You would otherwise be in the 380/240- 400whp/260trq range typical for running that pulley. Still not enough, run a 3" pulley... or upgrade to the Novi1200 and make 450whp all day long. I would never take on the torture and expense of competing on any track surface with a turbo set up, not only is the power delivery totally different, but I’m not that rich.

Haha. Thanks Junky!!! I am not running a front mount intercooler though. It's just an front mount liquid heat exchanger. Yeah. I thought about the reliability/heat issue too. Hmmm....well i might just end up selling the turbo kit then.

I've thought about upgrading to the Novi 1200 blower too. Hmmm....I'll wait till next summer to do anything though. Got plenty of autoX to attend this year, and i don't want to miss any of them. !!

i would just swap the manifold for an equal length and use all the other stuff with that, would only need to modify the hot side intercooler piping

Passmans....well I found a direct swap manifold for the inline pro stage one. Its a tubular manifold. Not sure of its equal length. Tempting!

And I would think InlinePro's log manifold would hold up better and create less heat then a tubular manifold for Autocross. I only do autocross and occasionally lapping days on a go kart track. 70% Street 30% autocross/lapping days. Summer car only.


I think with this kit and an oil cooler, i might be able to run it. I like my supercharger, but i want it to be faster!!!

My plan would be to run a duel map set-up for a tune it on 91oct and then a tune on Race gas mixed with pump gas.


I've always wanted to be turbo'ed in the first place. !! We will see what happens over winter. It's either Novi 1200 or TURBO!!!
