Flip a coin and let fate decide...


Honestly though, would you rather be fast? or Low?

are you racing your square car?
do you have 6k for turbo and internals?
aint gas too much already?
enjoy your warranty?
how much is a new engine?
who is gonna install it to make sure its right?

^^^Dough it's an xb2 so not square.. lol

I too say bags and pretty much agree with Dough.. turbo would be nice. but cost comparison of both would better bet for bags. Since same engine as Tc may beable to get a good turbo kit with a good tune but you will also be paying for that tune unless you have ability to do it. Also if something goes bad with either will be easier to fix the bags versus the turbo

Worst case on bags you can't lift it until you fix it. worst case on turbo you need a whole new engine. lol

You don't have to spend 6 Grand for a turbo setup. I would say around 4,000 for a good setup done right.


The Lowriders will tell you to get bags, the Gearheads will tell you to go turbo..........Go with what YOU want

I am a lowriding gearhead.. lol I would get both if you had the money.

But yeah get what you want more.

Turbos will get you there faster but bags will get you there in style.

6 grand for a good turbo, internals, fuel management, install and a tuning would be about right maybe more. If you are going without some of those then yes maybe be cheaper, but may not run efficiently. You could probably go without the internals if running low boost.

If money isn't the issue I would probably do turbo since would be different and most xb2 won't be turboed
