8066, I HAVE A TURBO COMPARISON FILE BETWEEN HRC/STAR . . .
Posted by Fast420A, Sep-06-01 06:22 AM
It was one that Skrilla emailed to me before he "left" the board. It has a LOT of info between the 2 and could really help someone decide between the 2. If anyone wants it, just post your email and I'll send it out.

The 'comparison' referred to here is a bit one-sided....I would refer to it as an 'editorial'. I thought it was dead, but it appears to live on!

For those who might enjoy a 'rebuttal' to this editorial, just email me and I will provide one: eng@turbosystem.com.

Thanks!

Just to let everyone know. . . I do not support this comparison, I have never even been a turboed 420a. All I know is that it lists parts side by side between the 2 so people can easily make their choice. If I were gonna go turbo, it would be HRC.

Thats really all it is... a parts comparison.

You would need an unbiased person to drive both setups at both stage 1 and 2 on identicle cars in order to get an accurate comparison.

Hey Fast! That's cool, don't mind me: I know you have the best intentions. I am just stuck on the concept of 'equal time', and I want to make sure folks see both sides of the story.

whats left to be said (and to all a good night). Not the skrilla comparo again :-( When will the madness ever end. How about these for a change:

iceman vs aem intake
AFX vs Unorthodox pulleys
JE vs total seal rings
toucan vs apc indiglos
eibach vs H&R springs
greddy vs apexi exhaust

too much is being made of these turbo kits!

HRC people are bias. Star people are bias. use your own good judgement.
