I don't have to have the fastest, just more passing power in 5th
ZZP TURBO- DDM TURBO
I'm trying to make a decision on turbo kits- PROs & Cons:
ZZP
PROs-maybe:
inexpensive
includes exhaust
lower boost level
due to inherent rear traction loss-this might be perfect (1lb. of boost=10-12 hp),
6-7 lbs of boost= 60-70 hp, do I need anymore? Is this more usable power (passing and making 5th gear more usable).
Less cylinder pressure for a non-forged internals motor (hold-up longer if programming is spot on?)
Cons:
use existing injectors @ static pressure
not enough history in slingshot community.
DDM
PROs:
Proven
Excellent customer service
Borg Warner Turbo
No core charge on pre drilled oil pan
Bigger Matched Injectors
Starts off @ 9lbs +/- of boost
Cons:
Price
Approx $1500 higher than competitor
Have to purchase exhaust @ another $1500+ (now this makes it double the competitor's price)
Going to have rear traction problems (tires)
What would you do, pay an extra $3k for a little more HP?
I might be missing something here, so please can Dave and/or Kevin chime in (haven't heard any non-biast veiwspoints) or any other turbo slings.
Thanks,
Fred

I'd like to know if there are owners out there that do most of their riding on back roads doing 50+- that have gone turbo or sc and have not regretted loss of mpg? Mpg loss is the only thing from keeping me from Tc or sc.
Beautiful, what is the total out the door install price?
And what is your mpg?No. The extra fun is worth the couple of extra dollars at the gas station.
