help me need turbo for 1200 is it worth it?
powderlites has one i am pretty sure.
moved for higher 1200 audience
I trail ride and find it more cost effective to go with a FPP kit@ $3500. I'd say if you have $6000 plus go with a powderlites. I just feel that going with a powderlites kit I'd be cranking boost past 250hp and start breaking things like drivetrain parts. 200hp is way more than enough for trails anyway.
Got a P.L. real close to done. The FPP kit will work but after years of boosting there is one thing i do and most boost guys do....... MORE BOOST!!! The 1st ride is killer then you want more and more!! So i went with the P.L. knowing i will want more power. I like knowing i have more boost under my hood than i can use!!! 
With there turbo,header,down pipe,bigger injectors, air box and RB3 this set up will CRANK out HP over 350 !! And TQ to blow your mind!!:) I feel the motor is going to be all but bullet proof. If you run enuff fuel to boost. Now the drive train we will see...... Boost does come on very nice and smooth VERY easy on parts not like spray at all. Should be fun!!!!!

That's very true, a turbo is really only 33% harder on a engine at a given hp increase then any other power adder,Nitrous can be brutal to the internals of a engine.
When do you think you will be turning the key on that build, I bet you can't wait for the maiden voyage.
