turbo is twice as much, but more than twice the whp.


s/c = 300 whp, turbo = 400 whp

I dont htink that much. The 8K was quoted from all_motor because the guy he put the turbo on wanted polish everything so the price eas so high. I think it around 5-6G's for all motor to installed the turbo. But ask all_motor he does all the fabrications.

What's good/better for a 5AT CLS? Can you put a turbo on an automatic?

Allmotor just finished the first auto turbo....

It really depends on what you want...you want a fast driver? I'd go SC

You want to run 1/4's with most 100K sport cars? Go turbo.
