The Greddy guy agreed but, he said turbo will take on even an EVO from a roll.
Are they telling the truth? And which is a better race, dig or roll? Also will the S/C keep its power band when taking on corners?
Thanks a lot! : )

Warantee is only good if you have the dealership sell you and install the SC.

We have YET to see one run 13's. Icenine's car could do it. But the key word is "could". Still has to be done.

Hey peeps, how can the SCer get more than 7PSI of boost?
Also if I mod the SC and something went wrong with the tranny for example, and i put it back to stock will they know that I modded it?

^^read up about the s/c more before you get it. all the questions you asked have been asked time and time again. not ragging on you or anything, just suggesting it before someone does get emo on you. but to answer your questions:
1) you get more then 7psi by putting on an aftermarket s/c pulley. the most popular one is NSTs 9.5psi pulley.
2) some things you'll be able to change back to stock without them noticing, but one thing that they can easily identify is if you did get an aftermarket s/c pulley. brand new s/c kit's are installed with a tamper proof cap on the nut that holds the s/c pulley on. if that cap has been tampered with, they will more then likely not warranty you for that.

Got Slicks? Even with Slicks I would find it very hard to hit even a 13.999

Mario Andretti, Chris Rado, nor Kenny Tran could get there with that HP on a S/C'er and no slicks.

Can I get an 05-06 S/C installed at the dealer to an 07?
If they did will the tC run fine or atleast get back home to get an Emanage plugged in to make it work fine?
Also, what are the difference with the 05-06 with the 07-08?
If this works, I'll get the tC boosted pretty soon.
