I recently purchased a Kenne Bell Blowzilla kit for my car... quite expensive at about 3500.00 bux... and now.. I'm having a bit of buyers remorse setting in... While it's still in the box, I could return it, but I won't... It'll really be cool once I get it installed and no doubt it will make big time power...

But here's the deal, I sure wish I'd have investigated the turbo route too... they're really making some cool kits now for similar money that I spent on the S/C... probably more difficult to install, but the WOW factor is right on up there when you open the hood or the throttle...

Don't get me wrong, the KB kit really looks nice and will probably make me very happy... I'm just havin' :rolleyes: some second thoughts on it now...

Tell me a blower wouldn't be sweet sticking out the hood of my car...



I had a T3/4 hybrid turbo on my 91 Honda hatchback in 2000. While turbochargers make stupid sick power (I’ve never seen a rod sheer like that!), I’m looking to go more old school than anything.





(now your givin me second thoughts….damnit)
