If I wanted to go turbo, even the SBD kit, the cheapest out there, is a better option than the Works.
Its not that i need to stay carb legal, just need to be able to pass emissions when my time comes next year in RI. With the works kit im able to keep all the factory O2 sensors and cats in place. From what i've been seeing higher power numbers can result in less reliability... blowing rods for one.
