The Hahn Turbo Kit













In my opinion the Hahn racing turbo kit is very complete. They started with the 420a and know alot about its characteristics. The one thing that really gets me is that even with all the time that has went by Hahn has never updated the Look of the System. It is as if it was never meant to be on a car that is classy or a show car. This factor was disappointing. I have an artisitic view on mods. I like it to be clean and pretty. Whats the point in spending 4000 on a kit that only covers boost when you are trying so hard to look good. There are some simple solutions but none are cheap. There is the option of powdercoating. Some spend hundreds of dollars on stainless steel parts that are all shiny when they go on. If your car never sees the raod maybe this is for you. However stainless steel will turn brown once the exhuast heats it up to around 400 degrees. Its a big bummer to get pretty headers and they turn to mud! I personally recomend Powdercoating. It is cheaper than stainless steel and its not going to turn brown, or any other color besides what you coated the part with. Enough of that now. I would like to look at the hahn turbo kit in comparison to a custom turbonetics setup using all the hahn fuel parts. If you have noticed I am merely suggesting using pretier parts or making the pretty mr Hahn. If you read this, I think you have a great kit and it does its job well, lets just do it in style.



Here are pictures of the Hahn Turbo Kit after the install is complete just as it comes out of the box. Then the White valve cover is a turbonetics turbo and star manifold, notice the huge cosmetic difference.
