you will be able to make more power with the turbo and get better fuel mileage too (not a huge gain but a little bit) my current power levels are with hahn.

if u put that 4k into a sc setup ud come out on top easy. 2k to build the mtor and 2k for the sc stuff. im personally camming my 2.4 right now then im gonna sc it. im hoping to get at least 200whp with all my bolt ons plus the cams. after that the sc should put me easily in the 250-260whp range without even having alotta boost. ill rebuild later and drop the pulley after thatt

cheaper to build the LSJ up....but higher HP levels attainable with turbo cars....just simply more potential. I vote go with Hahn!

the question was which is the better value guys not overall better.. if u straight up took the 4k vs the 2k sc stuff its not equal... but if u put 4 k into a sc setup on a 2.4 it would be a more powerful value than the 4k that it costs to get the hahn kit. now if u built up the motor to handle more power the hahn will be better. id rather do a slight build and pay less for the sc stuff.. im not trying to have 400+whp yet

this is the LE5 section

we aren't interested in LSJ's or LNF's at the moment

i think you can do the SC for less than 2k
More LSJ's are going turbo, should make the swap parts cheaper

And with a turbo swap, you must upgrade your clutch

I think a M62 LE5, plus leather seats and DR's would be the best setup

I meant, instead of spending all of your money on your turbo swap, do the s/c and add visual and interior enchancements
