XS Engineering Turbo Kit
Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah, I realize that a turbo kit isn't really "bolt-on." I was just wondering if the instructions that come with the kit are concise enough for someone who has a good knowledge of cars to install, or if it is better to et a "professional" do it. Also, what advanteges does the XS kit have over the Nsport kit? I'm sure this has been answered before and if so, could you just help me find the thread?

i kno this is off topic umm anyone know of any companies that make superchargers for the KA? i cant really decide what to do when i get my 240sx. i would like to go N/A but im probably not going to get far. my second option was to swap a rb25 and my third was a choice between the rb20 and the sr20 but i live in california and its a pain in the azz having to have testing and paying the guy when i will spend most of my money on the car. also its going to be another pain if i get pulled over or if the test guy takes my money and fails me or reports me. so im stuck here on my third option. either turbo or supercharge but supercharging is going to be so much easier to do and i might even get it cheaper and legally.

There is a difference between lag and boost threshold. They are somewhat related, but it's not like it suddenly kicks at 3500 RPM or so. Even prior to hitting the boost threshold, there will be some boost building and you will feel more power before hitting the max boost. And the only time this is really an issue anyways is in 1st gear. If you are racing, and shifting at or near redline, the turbo will respond quite quickly even when getting on the throttle from an off-boost situation.
If lowering the boost threshold is that much of an issue for you, use or build a kit that uses a T3 turbine. Or opt for a ball bearing turbo which should decrease the boost threshold by maybe about 500 RPM.
Personally, I see no need for boost that low. I'd rather have better breathing through the turbine to free up some extra HP.
