wtf are you talking about? hahn racecraft is the turbo kit the gm cobalts use and when you go turbo you start at a hanhn racecraft stage 1, you sir are the moron for not researching your facts before you call someone out.

> i guess it is personal preference, but as far as not using it on the street for one where are you gonna have the room to really take advantage of it

Eh, I don’t think you understand how modern nitrous systems work.

When armed, I floor it and the nitrous sprays and I go fast. When I let off the gas, it stops spraying. It’s just like having WOT power any other way. Why would I “need more room” for nitrous than for a turbo?

> and 2 its illegal to have hooked up on the street so you would have to re hook it up everytime you wanted to use it

I haven’t used my system since…October or so? The bottles been in my Mustang since then. I only take it out when it needs refilled, speaking of which:

> plus the out of pocket costs of having to keep refilling it suck and finding a conveniant place to do it.

Eh, not really. A bottle lasts a pretty long time with a 100 shot and lasts a REAL long time on a 75 shot. There are a lot of places around that sell it too, though I’m pretty selective about where I get mine filled.

> i just like the idea of bolting a turbo on and being done with it

To each their own. To me, power is power

> and as far as wear goes a properly tuned boosted engine should not wear any more than a n2o would

Someone else addressed this already.

why in all hell would you:

1. put a hahn turbo kit on your car with no FMIC(stage1)
2. not just do what GM tells you in the book
3. think you are goin to be fast with the tiny 16G they give you
4. waste your time with that kit and just have to upgrade to a T3 or T4 flanged mani down the road

the 16 g should be able to get me to the 400whp im looking for and i will get the intercooler as well, the gm build book uses hahn racecraft, i shouldnt have to upgrade the manifold unless i wanted to make more than 400hp

heheh 16g 400 hp, what liter is that motor? your not going to make much power up high at all…better get yourself an intercooler if looking over 2 or 3 psi, especially w/ a little turbo thats going to be spooling a lot on a large 4 banger
