Realistically, a blowdown turbine isn't going to be very cost effective unless we're talking rather high boost. Off load, there's very little pressure for it to work with so it's just dead weight (admittedly not much dead weight). On a race car where the rest of the engine is already fine tuned to the limit, and you're at WOT and high rpm for a majority of the time, the extra 5%-7% power is really worth it. Of course, if the car is already hybrid and turbocharged, this is a welcome addition.

IMO, something like a CVT or dual speed supercharger on Miller cycle is a good street solution.
yeah that also is a solution, but isnt readily available

but to get back on topic


turbo kit 6k

NA kit
high compression pistons $600-$900 (13.0:1-14.5:1)
cams $600
Injectors $600
Spark plugs $20
Intake $300
Headers $800 -$1200
Muffler delete $150 (showed best gains discussed in another forum)
Tune $900(E85)

could see 250whp
for around 4100-4600 have 1400 for a set of rims and tires = $6k

or you could get valves + install of internals for around 1400-1800 and raise that redline to 9k for more POWA
