    rockers are actually $895 heheheh
    you should be able to get a redback zorst for $240
    extractors for $600
    leads for $50
    and a lsd diff with new lower ratio will be about $1500, realistically.
    thats if your lucky will be good for 150rwkw or 200rwhp.

    well personally i think the crs blower is great for what it is and what ppl are doin with them, i just wouldn't put one on my VT, this is my good car. everything is gonna be done properly, i've spent so much on previous cars and dodged them up by doing stuff myself or dodgy components. so if i were to go a blower it would be from capa. higher quality stuff, the 1GGZE sc14 blower is a second hand unit. good for playin with, not if you want a decent car, just my opinion. (not to be confused with the start of an arguement of, the crs is the best blower).

    fair call, i was just sujesting a mod that fell with in the price range of the budget, that gives noticable power. i never said it was the best blower in the world, just that it is cheapish and that it runs at low boost so should be alright on a stock engine. there is a limit of hp avalible on every part of the engine and thats the same with the crs it can only push out so much before it shits it self so if you just want a bit of fun then the crs my be a goer but if you are after serious power then you wouldnt look twice at a crs kit.
