Hellion vs HP performance turbo kits

Cheddar · 08-28-2007, 05:21 PM

So i am plannin on purchasing a turbo kit for my 96GT and have found these two turbo kits on the market and was wondering if anyone had any input on either. Good or bad experiences on installs, performance, reliability, maintanence the whole works and any of you supercharger guys whom think superchargers are the way to go let me know and maybe some reason why i should lean that way

Any input is awsome

Thanks

im going with the hellion kit whenever possible. I just like a nice single turbo cause you have less parts to deal with and the turbo is sitting in a better spot IMO. No drainback issues. Looks nicer also underhood, you can actually see the turbo...

hellion is a better kit for the fact that they dont have as many issues. HP has a drain back problem cause the turbos are mounted lower compared to the hellion kit. plus, the hellion comes with better parts made my Maximum Motorsports
