mmmmm turbo! where's that put the HP and mpg at?

I've seen it ... it's not all that

Too bad he didn't have a new clutch in it this past weekend...we all wanted to see him run it at the autocross

I know of someone in Cali who has his turbo'd. I'm not sure if its the same guy but I'll tell him to join the site and show off his

A buddy of mine had his turbo'd but he recently sold it. From what he says it was a pain in the ass and nothing but trouble. Not sure why though I never really asked.

I just keep thinking how much better it would be if my box had a tad bit more hp.
Seriously I think we could be getting consistently over 32mpg if we had something a tad bit bigger, like a 2.2 or 2.4. I also own a corolla, and it gets 40mpg highway. only difference is aerodynamics. I don't think the xb is much heavier.
I guess that's off the point since a turbo probably wouldn't help lol

I have a friend who has an xa and his has a supercharger, i'm not sure if the turbo is the same as the super charger. However, his just had some problems and he had to rebuild his entire engine. I think our ittle engines are too small for something that brings in more power.

My only problem with the whole supercharger/turbo thing is the Dollar/Hp ratio. $3000 for 30-40 horses is not worth it to me. I look at it like I can still get all the speeding tickets I want with the engine I have.

Hey thats me! Here is the link to my album if you guys want to take a look.

As for reliability and MPG I can't say just yet because I have only been boosted for 2 weeks now, but I have filled up once (with Premium at $3.399 a gallon) at 308 miles with 10.8 gallons, so about 28.5 mpg on the first tank. The only thing I have broken so far is the stock clutch. My numbers are about 131 whp and 159 ft/lbs with a mild tune at 10.5 psi. A dyno sheet is in my album. And Peej, as for the $3000, it IS worth it. This had made my xB even more fun to drive than it was before!

Wow that's not as bad as I thought for mpg. Maybe this is something that I would consider then. I was thinkin of finding someone who thought that they could make a corolla engine work haha. I think it would be worth the money. I love the xb, but havin a little bit of guts would make it all the better like bacamoxb said!
Is that about how much it cost you bacamoxb? $3000?"

30 ponies in our car is significant.
30 hp's for our car = about 80 hp's for a heavier 1980's Chevy. (opinion)
Also, that TQ value is great.

Take me ....scratch that...let me drive it once you get the new clutch in and we'll see

nice pictures! Now you put more ideas into my head(turbo) lmao

i cant seem to justify paying $3000, switching to filling up with premium gas, which by the way is ALMOST at $4, paying all the maintenance costs because these cars are just not made for speed. All these consequences for a measly 30-40hp. Props to you for having a turbo setup though.

I'd love to do it, but $3000 is hard to come by around here.

Anyone want to combine IRS rebate checks with me
