JesusAlmighty Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Am I being ridiculous as to thinking it would be a good idea to supercharge my '06 2.5i sedan? Or would a turbo kit be better. I own my car and I like how it is now, just needs some power. I need thoughts. Thanks guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dujo Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Sell it and buy a GT. Seriously. General consensus here is that you will spend more money and come up with a worse result to try to do your own forced induction on a motor that wasn't designed for it. Of course, the GTs have their own list of pecadillos and they are getting long in the tooth (for the early 4th gens anyway). Get a nice 09 GT and enjoy it for years to come. Enjoy!

KRM Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 http://www.raptorsc.com.au/index.html why not? you own the car outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTris Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 You really had to make two separate threads to ask this dumb question twice? I'm not even that mad. I'm actually kind of impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kred Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Am I being ridiculous as to thinking it would be a good idea to supercharge my '06 2.5i sedan? Or would a turbo kit be better. Both terrible ideas. To give you a straight forward answer, you'd have to spend thousands either way and only be able to run like 6 pounds of boost on the stock motor. You might be around 200 whp all said and done. And who knows how reliable that is. Or, for the same amount or perhaps even cheaper, you could get a legacy gt that has that power level bone stock from the factory. And you can easily get like an extra 50 horses from a DP and stage 2 tune. So from a guy who's been there, if you're looking for something powerful, you bought the wrong car.

ivonr Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Agree with everyone who said sell it for an LGT. Or, if you have the garage space and funds, keep your reliable 2.5i and buy something turbo/fast/badass as a secondary vehicle...like an LGT haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has supercharged a 2.5i yet, and, if you're the first, you'll not only be the coolest dude EVER, but, you'll also have to hide from all the women that will want to sleep with you as a result! Y'know, because your car is not only SUPER special, but, wicked fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
