    There's definitely a big difference between sucking through the throttlebody vs. blowing through it. My turbo car didn't give a rats ass what size the tb was! LOL!

      Damn that guy changes his mind on shit by the hour. He had a procharger not long before getting the KB. Now he is getting rid of the car? Hell he didn't even have the car that long...lol.

            There's truth in what you're saying, but it's at the sacrifice of efficiency and longevity. Besides, now you will make more power with a given pulley.

              ^ Agreed. I consider what's the cost vs. the benefit. The KB already generates more boost at a given pulley size vs. the smaller Roush TVS I was considering. 10 psi on a KB with a 3-7/8" pulley (96.8mm) vs. 10 psi on the TVS with an 82mm pulley (3-1/4"). This is a good thing since belt slip can be an issue on these SC's. Paying an additional $800 for a TB to pick up another pound or two of boost seems awfully expensive compared to a pulley change.

                    Yup, it's at TSM now and hopefully they can get it running soon. Just a 2.4 polished but I don't need a ton of power for a fucking vert LOL.

                      KB's come a long way since the one I had on my '90LX in the late 90's! That car had no bypass or A/W intercooler! LOL! It would heat soak on a road trip so bad it would start to spark knock. They had just gone to the bypass design, so I ordered the valve and built one into my kit. It helped a ton. Ended up selling the kit on Ebay. Now they have bypasses, A/W intercoolers, liquid cooled bearings, etc. Pretty impressive.

                          Only thing I don't like about KB's now on the newer cars is the whine isn't really there anymore. Well from what I've heard on some. I'm just excited to wake everyone up in the neighborhood with that fucking thing!
