kwsc is rotrex
designed almost like a centrifugal setup but it runs more efficiently
and it uses a bpv so it's almost sounds like a turbo in that sense

i said kwsc because he wanted a quiet car, t1r turbo is expensive and loud (cat delete) and still he has the option to upgrade to high boost whenever that comes out. kwsc is a more user friendly setup.

because of the nature of the turbo, even with the cat delete it isn't near as loud as a normal cat delete, and if you ran it with a tanabe medallion touring exhaust, it wouldn't be any louder than a normal mild cat back.

and if you've noticed in the kswc thread, the kswc with all of it's kinks and problems and additional parts you need to see any substantial gains ends up costing very near what the t1r tuned would cost, if not just as much.

but really, if you'r spending $4000 to go forced induction, why not spend $500 more for 30% more power?

the main advantage of a KWSC over a turbo setup for me is that it will be CARB legal.

meh, if price and loudness and carb legality is the problem, the HKS kit is $2900 and will provide a bit more power/tq than the base KSWC kit and doesn't have a cat delete.

hey man i'll all for it
i prefer a turbo setup over a sc setup anyday

i was suggesting it to the OP because he's a noob
it's more user friendly

i understand the difference between the setups
i was just suggesting the setup that would fit the OP's needs

lol I understand, but still, reading through that KSWC thread all that you can see are problems with the install and disappointment with power.

and jesus, after watching the ATSC fit video I went outside with a stopwatch and my MT with an intake was a second and a half faster to 60.

even though it doesn't have a cat delete, it's still not CARB legal.
CA is very strict on modifications.

yes it is, the HKS is the ONLY forced induction kit that is carb legal right now, the kwsc isn't approved yet.
