jeffzahnd....dont ever compare a corvette to a civic ever again...civics are junk!

[jeffzahnd]

@jesse8t my point was for those that don't understand that 5 pounds of boost in a 90mm throttle body isn't the same as a civics 30mm or wtf ever the size is .

@dropkick1337 i've seen tons over civics that never "imploded" on themselves, there are things called supporting mods that you do to a car after you put in a huge turbo so that doesn't happen

[dropkick1337]

@AnTHoNyB1125 even at 800 horse the civic is just gonna implode on itself after 5000 miles. At least a vette could handle 800 horse.

@jesse8t civics arent junk, how many cars do you know that can quadruple their horsepower, ive seen 800+hp civcs, especially out of inline 4 engines but never 1600+hp corvettes, even though they have v8s i respect civics but most of them are shit.

Do sts turbo kits have any more lag then a normal turbo mounted in the engine bay?

[wildbloodydragon]

How about actually running the strip with them? If people wanted turbo sound they'd buy 30 dollar turbo mufflers not 6 grand twin turbos.

Further into this, it sounds like y2001c5 is confusing the wastegate with the BOV. Boost never goes through the BOV, and if it does, you've got yourself a boost leak. As T2DMF9000 explained, the BOV will only past a predetermined vacuum level.

With a small turbo, you wont get that high-pitched scream like you often hear from Supras with massive single T88. At higher boost, you will hear more of the whistle, but with a pair of STS turbos, that wont be a whole lot.
