Let us say I know of one that makes the above resemble a Chinese Product. And another which puts their track reliability and throttle response to shame. The above aren't bad for sure. But these two are kits that have been under heavy RnD by extremely knowledgable people for the entire life of the 86's and only have been released when they knew that not a single problem was present with anything in the kit. Mind you these are in the 6-8k usd for the turbo kit alone. They don't come with pumps and all that kind of stuff. Mind you they are Australian made and that jacks the price up a little since our wages are significantly higher here.

A PD Supercharger does have instantaneous response and a traditional Turbo FMIC setup does not. With any throttle at all this one makes some boost and has no lag. In all honesty if you totally release the throttle and floor it trying to feel the lag its almost not there. The only place you'd ever feel it commonly driving on a track would be places where you go from full brake/coast to full throttle which is how often? You'r
