Definitely! I never would want to see a man's hard work go down the drain because they rushed through the testing stage. Good luck with everything!

 

I can't wait to see the dyno

 

(2) & (3) First:

There already was a S/C-kit available... hence no originality. I don't want to pay for someone else's R&D. I figured for the same price (or less) I could build an equivalent systems (in terms of hp gain and reliability). I chose the turbocharger for several reasons:
Ability to easily incorporate intercooling, ability to control onset of boost and amount of boost (boost controller), more horsepower potential with appropriate mods to the motor... plus I like the sound of the blowoff

I don't think one is inherently more safer than the other...its really how you put together the system. My main concern was and still is detonation. There are a few angles I covered that the S/C doesn't... one being intercooling. The more dense and cooler the intake charge is... the less chance of pre-ignition and subsequently detonation. I also incorporated the Mugen T-Stat and Fan Switch to further help with cooling. With the new turbo.. lag will not be a problem... I expect max boost at 2000rpm! Turbo's are inherently more efficient and you get more gain for the same boost-level (no pulley and load on the crank).

I do think a S/C is more suited for street or daily-driven cars at nominal boost levels. I just want to be different

 

Would be kinda cool to drive past another car and blow your valve off on um huh.

 

Man...just get a new race clutch...and pressure plate...and bam!!!
