I like cars with wood on them.

me too! thats why im buying a roadmaster wagon

who told you you could only get 15 psi from an aftermarket turbo? my old merkur (and my current stock one) hit 15 psi stock on the small garret t3. hell... after 4000 rpm it hit 20 psi (the limit for that turbo). i have never been thrown so hard into my seat before. i hit 18 psi at 2800 rpm... granted i had no exhaust on the car, only a flex pipe exiting next to the passenger front tire and a stock airbox, would have spooled faster with a "cold air" setup. superchargers have a limit of about 20 psi. i have seen turbos pushing 40+ every race day without fail.

the whole spooling issue is mainly a moot point. turbo lag doesnt exist much anymore now that technology has caught up. a single turbo set up would be better for street drivability and power. superchargers are a thing of the past. most drag racers now use turbos instead as you dont need displacement in the 350+ range to make 1800 hp. hell... the sohc 2.3 ford lima engine can make well over 1000 hp thanks to turbos. eat that V8's!
