TT is your best choice. Single turbo will be more costly and a bigger headache and superchargers are not worth it IMO.

I would go TT if I were you. I'm doing a single turbo conversion because I know alot more about F.I now than I did before I went T.T. Also, I have the right friends who can do things for me very cheaply. If you don't have that, single turbo will be a nightmare and most likely a costly one at that. Going with a supercharger is also not too great of an idea because just like single turbo, you are wading into relatively unchartered waters which means that there is little or no help for you if you need it. Trust me, going TT was hard enough even when all the parts and knowledge was readily available. Unless they come out with a single turbo kit that covers all the bases while providing you with all the knowledge you need to complete it, then going single turbo is not a good idea for somebody just starting out. Even though I am going single turbo right now, I would not have done so if I had not already gone TT.

p.s (IPS's single kit is nice but does not even begin to cover all the bases for going Single turbo from an NA)

What about a Thomas Knight??? Or a RIPP? Im pretty sure RIPP includs everything you need to hook up their air pump haha. They even have a piggyback ecu thats pre tuned for the install. But, i may be wrong in the idea that either of these do any good.

No shit, i was actually curious with how the process whent because i was figuring out all the posible ways to get fi. So far, i feel more like inventing a whole new turbo then doing the swap myself, cosidering its the daily driver.

But, i may just sell it and get the fuck out of this community, ive been here fr 3 months and im already dealing with the most retarded people i think ive ever talked to. That are condecending assholes, and it just seems like if im about to be dealing with deadly issues like bending valves, or spinning a bearing. Im just about fed up with this russian roulette of a car.

Nice, Ask for advice, get advice, talk trash on the community. Good Job.

PS. If this is your Daily, Look into Nitrous. Takes a Day to install instead of a week and doesn't beat the motor up if you don't spray too much and tune it correctly. I've been DDing a Nitrous Car for about 8 months and Love it. 100hp on tap if I need it, otherwise nice and reliable.
