I have been giving some thought to giving unatural induction another

try, now that my old Nelson is off to a new home. What interests me is

peoples experiences living with the different types of

turbo/superchargers on a daily basis; specifically, details on noise,

maintainance, reliability, gas mileage and so forth. What does not

interest me is physics lectures, conjecture, dyno results, or people's

beliefs as to the honesty or parentage of the person making or selling

said charger.

What I  am looking for is just a decent increase in power, with the

fewest possible side effects. Frankly, I could proably drive Thumper

just as he is forever, but it would be nice to have maybe 30 or so hp to

call on. 

Maybe I should be thinking about nitrous , or now that the miles are up

there, a 1.8 swap. 

Let me hear about your experience..
