if $$$ isn't a big issue, I would go twin turbo.

but money is a bit of an issue. it's an extra 2k for the twin turbo. not to mention buying other things like cams/pistons etc.

remember that stuff WILL break, its only a matter of time. 10k for a turbo is great, however you WILL end up spending more than that fixing things. a TT installed will prob run you are 15k, however plan on spending much more down the road as stuff begins to break and things need to be replaced.

same thing goes witht the SC

You do not need that stuff right away.
Yes the motor will wear faster, but it is not an immediate need.

If there was such a thing as an immediate need it would definitely be an oil cooler and if not AT a twin disk clutch to take the punishment

I went through the same process and decided on the SC. 400 WHP rocks in our cars and the kit was cheaper, simpler, and easier to install than the twins (although they are awesome too). Find some good looking women and ask them which is better, the Evo or the Z. Believe me, they'd rather ride back to your place in the Z than go to the grocery store with the Evo guys!

That's cool. I know the twins are awesome. But money is an issue too. And i have got to agree with you with the women. Well said! Haha

Haddy what s/c kit did you end up going with?

Lug · 07-07-2011, 10:57 AM

Do you want to upgrade your tranny too? The S/C gets you close to the max HP/ TQ I'd be comfortable with on a standard tranny (auto or manual). TT gets you in the higher HP/TQ ranges but you will probably want to upgrade the tranny as well. The SC brings on power slower w less TQ so it's not nearly as hard on the car as a TT setup is. If your goal is to get well up in the HP range, skip the SC and go straight to TT.

Not planning on upgrading tranny.

I've decided on getting the GTM S/C kit. Hopefully I'll be getting it by next year. Still saving up some $$ though. Can't wait!! Are you planning in getting one?

Yup, doing research but I'm leaning more towards S/C over TT only because of cost and the S/C gives me the horsepower i'm looking for. Now its just of matter of preference GTM vs. Stillen. Any opinion is welcome...

No need to upgrade the tranny if its a manual 6 speed.All you would need is a clutch and CSC upgrade if you have a auto thats a different story.

To the OP what is your budget and power goal's ? A SC 370 with 400whp will hang and beat a lightly modded evo. But if one of your friends decides to go get a bigger turbo your going to need more.

Hmm, how much power those evos put on the ground with bigger turbo?
