It pretty much goes like this...

Getting Haln Racecraft to build a turbocharger kit for the SVX is like a highschooler that looks not too special but not too average either without any official job experience trying to get one only to be not taken seriously because they do not know much about the potential of that person therefore they doubt that individual. Unless someone has dropped a good word about or someone very close to that person is a big customer of theirs, they will not take notice unless you hassle them and force them to notice you. And even while you are doing that they might just hire someone else who looks more average and has credentials they may trust more.

So even though I would like to see a turbocharger kit produced by them, I doubt I would see one come to fruition anytime soon.

I think a Turbo kit is an excellent idea. and 3k would be a great price. i have done a turbo on my car and beleve that with a company like the one that is being talked about in this thred they could do it. it would be very nice to see a real turbo kit for th SVX.

p.s. people dont say it cant be done if you dont know what you are talking about.

If I had the money and the kit worked out 300+ HP with out bad side effects. I would buy it tomaro. $3000 is not that bad.

Wow.....I can't believe how long this thread has been.......5 PAGES OF NOTHING BUT ARGUING AND TRYING TO SEE WHO IS SMARTER THAN THE NEXT PERSON!.......Funny Sh*t y'all.
I do remember Chicane asking if anyone would be interested in a kit by a potential shop.

Alan, you should have been at Reading!!!!

It runs strong, and smokes all four, and still got 23 mpg on the way back from Reading.

Still not perfect yet, and no dyno for a while.
I will be drag racing at Hagerstown as soon as I can.
This weekend is Chi ke's 4.44 swap if you feel like getin dirty.
And He's buying the beer!!!
In fact if you want to come drive it, I'm only two hours south of you.
