  1. Only because I need the kit now (for my car), not for something available in the future. Also, I've found (from other cars I've modded) that simply controlling for detonation and avoiding abrupt acceleration the drivetrain will handle the torque just fine. I agree that if was going to run the quarter mile in this thing then I will get into trouble with the transmission, and possibly the axles over time. All I want is a better handling version of what I have now. I am looking at about $4 to 5K for the whole system with install. It's not that big a project. Garrett
  2. Gosh Mikey, I can see that you don't know much about automobile engines. As the turbochargers vanes spin, they turn the shaft of the .....compressor. It's the compressor side of the turbocharger that sends boost to the intake. And I don't like the Cayenne or the BMW X6. The Edge is a utility car for around town. I can afford a Murcielago because I don't waste my money. Garrett
  3. I think you're wrong. I have a 600 hp car already (Murcielago). I want the effeciency of the turbocharger system (i.e. waste exhaust gases are spining the compressors for forced induction) rather than the rapid acceleration and low-end torque of a supercharger. I don't want to use my Edge to street race. I want it to perform with vigor during highway cruising, lane changes, and acceleration while at speed. Garrett
  4. Does anyone have a line on an aftermarket turbocharger kit? I can find supercharger kits quite easily, but what I am looking for is more of a twin turbo set up. Suggestions? Thanks, Garrett
