I swapped my 8# springs out (was getting 6.5# at mile high altitude) to 4# springs (actually get 4# boost here) and added a boost controller. My maximum boost is 10#. I've heard a general rule of thumb is you can get double the spring pressure with a boost controller for a maximum boost. Works for me until I forge.

Its really hard to say which one is more fun. Both setups are a blast to drive! You can't go wrong either way and both are proven performers but if you want to make BIG power down the road turbos is the way to go IMO…Either setup will easily make more than enough power for the street

From AGP site...

"AGP can deliver to your door a “Tuner” kit which doesn’t include a fuel system upgrade or tune. Or our complete kit with fuel system upgrades and open HP Tuners base tune. Through AGP’s extensive testing over the past year, most stock engine cars (including stock cams) have been able to achieve a solid 575-600whp with our base kit at around 8psi. We do understand that every car is different and every dyno is different, so your numbers may be a little higher or a little lower depending."

700 rwhp on 6psi

Nice I plan on getting a twin kit soon
One question do the exhaust on wastegates come like that vented to atmosphere or is it something to be requested cause I seen others route back into the exhaust itself.... I personally like this setup(vented to Atmospere) loud of corse lol

Whats your point? Without the cam and other mods he probably would be ~10psi. All those mods lower the boost, so he made 700 on 6psi. A bone stock car like AGP said will make ~600rwhp on 8psi, and 680-700rwhp on 10-11psi. When you start opening up the top end flow, you can make those numbers are lower levels.

Kit comes vented standard.

I see a bad ass cam! that's it 6psi at 700 rwhp is my point is like when Ice and Slider said BS to maverick being inverted with a mig.

So 12psi of superchargers boost equals 6s from a turbo?

It can. No blower taking 50-60hp to spin, and more efficient cooler IATs can make a big difference.

Our kits come vented to atmosphere. Then some people choose to get them routed back in to make the car quieter at WOT. ADM does it will all the TT cars they build and we've done a few quiet ones here. To each his own.

All the numbers on our site are on the conservative side and worse case scenario. WHP on 6psi on a bone stock A/T car on the smallest turbos is nothing like 6psi on a built engine, big turbos, manual trans car. 700whp on 6psi is totally doable.
All of our turbos max HP listed on our website is also a good 5-10% less power than they can actually make too. We like to under promise and over deliver a bit.
