Post TURBO TL

i've read a couple of posts where you guys talk about turbo TLs or turboing them. well if you take it to XS engineering or something, im sure they can custom fabricate a kit for you guys, although it will be expensive (around 7k or so complete and installed), its worth every penny, in my opinion.=] but the next thing u have to worry about is traction and an auto tranny holding up to the power.

Doesn't Turbo mess up your engine? Which is better Supercharger or Turbo. 7k is a lot of money. Then again, turbo hmm.. i could beat all my friends.. I'm tired of loosing to my friend's 95 Nissan 5speed.

i personally dont like turbo b/c you have to wait a minute or two (depending on how much you used it during driving) in order for the turbo vanes to slow down. also, i had a volvo 760 turbo and i blew the turbo while using it...luckily, it was under warranty or i would have a pretty nice mechanic bill. once the turbo goes, your whole car is useless. plus, after blowing the turbo, the smoke pouring out of the tailpipe aint a pretty site.

We're not disputing the fact of whether or not it can be done. We're just saying it hasn't happened yet.....
