but how about these lads??

apparently the thomas knight range is fantabulous - they're not cheap, but with todays favorable exchange rates they could perhaps offer a bigger bang for your buck..

Sounds great on the product page, almost plug and play. Wonder how good it is. Would be a massive potential powerhouse for prob around the same price as converting to turbo, though if its as simple as they say on the website to install, then it would have less of the risks of letting someone mess around with turbos. I'd be well tempted to try this in time.

There is no such thing as free energy. Even our system needs to be recharged, but in this respect, the universal, open-ended design allows for hundreds of ways to do so. It could be as simple as hooking up to a regular battery charger in your garage twice a week, or as futuristic as solar panels.So while you're waiting in the staging lanes or cruising along the strip, you can relax and hurl insults at the Nitrous guys while your system preps for another power burst of awesome boost.



Yawn......

Would much prefer to buy a turbo and do most of the labour myself.
