If you drive there, it will take about half the time to drive back. Because you will have a new turbo. But I couldent drive for that long anyway.

He can send it out to you so it can be done by yourself or a mechanic. What he has been telling me that the turbo kit is easy to install but you need to take your time. Good choice for Tom's kit

Hell I would just take a vacation down there and let him work on it while you enjoy the time down there. Carolina is beautiful.

^^ what he said....take a vacation. esp with him being located outside of charlette, nice scenery there; it'll take him 3 days to install though *as previously posted*

I'm only worried about reliability and quality of Tom's turbo. It puts alot of power down but I don't know if I'm going to blow the engine in the process. The Precision Turbo tested by Sport Compact seems like a very strong turbo and it also looks a little bit more reliable.
Am I worrying too much about Tom's turbo? And is the Precision as good a turbo as it has been shown?

i dunno about the precision though man. SCC says they had to do a bunch of fabricating to get it right, such as the oil pump relocation... but they also said that they did a lot of that stuff for preference. i'm waiting for tom to put his two cents in on this thread though.

^^Isn't that because the Precision kit that they installed was for the Zetec, not their project SVT?
