Decisions.....Turbo, Supercharger, or Phantom ESC???

[SirDigby]

I wonder why they (ESC) don't run a resistance ballast on the motor controlled by the tps? I think I might make my own...

Exhaust headers or turbo manifolds just need their flanges flipped 180 degrees and they'll work fine, so top versus bottom mount for a turbo, or cut and weld a NA header. Either way, the oil feed and return lines shouldn't have a problem if they aren't too short or considerably too long.

Then their are iq boards, there have to be a few crazy iq people that have added forced induction, just see what they did and how they overcame the challenges you mentioned.

There's a few locals here. I've dealt with turbo setups before, particularly my 1990 mustang with a 2.3T swap from an 88' Turbo Coupe, 86' Starion ESI-R, SRT4 Caliber, and 1987 XR4TI. But they were all factory and I've never done an aftermarket kit onto an NA engine. Really good Idea though.

Do you have links to Boosted iQs? Other than Daniel form FL, a gentleman from Germany, and several people on the Minkara JP group, I've yet to see anybody else and I'm quite active on the EU boards, US boards, Facebook groups, etc.

This is kinda the way I'm leaning. Other than extending some wiring, it seems to be the easiest albeit most expensive option.

You should. The guy does it as a side business and he does produce a decent product, but his customer service and timeliness have something to be desired. For a popular product, one would think at $1800/pop (batteries not included, LOL) and a waiting line through the door, you'd be jumping on it sooner. Below I'll leave a bunch of info. It'd be nice to see the idiot get some competition and lose some sales for his poor customer service.
