Turbo Setup For Our Car? What ya Think About This One.

[vt_maverick]

S/C parts price is more expensive than turbo, but installation labor will be MUCH more expensive for the turbo kit if you can't do it yourself. The Alpine S/C is custom designed for the VX, so (within reason) it is much more plug and play and therefore less expensive to install.

Bottom line (IMHO) is S/C parts + labor < turbo parts + labor.

Well the devil's always in the details right? In either case, what is decidedly deceptive is when they advertise it for a specific vehicle that the manufacturer almost certainly has no experience with. Guys like the OP could end up spending a lot of money for shiny, cool-looking frustration.

It actually sounded good on the Passat. Not bad at all...
The buick sounded like my five year old with a congested nose.
