I was wondering about this. It almost sounds like there's no parasitic loss from a turbo?? I wondered, because since many people upgrade their exhaust system and gain horsepower because it's freer flowing, wouldn't adding a turbo into the exhaust system actually restrict the exhaust gasses causing parasitic loss?

I called Hubie and he hasn't heard of it either..... this maximus guy has never even talked to hubie. It is amazing the crap that people spread on these boards. I know hubie has PM'd him to talk to him about this thread and I just want to make sure that everyone knows that the stock kit produces at least 250whp on a bone stock S. Maybe the mods can check into this?

WOW.. calm down man... Why are you getting so mad at someone saying they have more power than you? Even if it is false, I think your reaction shows your bad attutude towards anyone else who has dreams of having a fast car. This is starting to remind me of a honda forum(which isnt good).

There will always be faster cars built but that isn't the problem. Some guy saying that Hubie told him something that wasn't said is the PROBLEM. Bad attitude? LOL

holy cow batman!

he never said hubie told him anything, you misinterpeted my friend, i think we all need to take a xanax and chill or something, these forums are for help/suggestions, and things of that nature not jumping down everybodies throat. As for the BS'ing he never said he was only doing the twincharge kit only, and i think you need to give the guy a break, he only ordered the car friday(his second mini in two years!). oh btw i know the guy better then anybody on this forum considering he's my older brother.

DAMNNNN. How long have you two been DATING LOL . Sound like a lovers triangle in High School. Leave poor hubie alone so he can concentrate on something really important like why his latest twin charge system went bad.

Wow so what kind of crap am I going to catch when I throw away my supercharger and have a turbo set up? Can you say 12 sec quarter mile?
