From what i have read; phenomenal torque and performance, while still able to pass EPA test.
The yella terra kits are good. Terra Chargers are 1.9l, the new kits are 2.3 or 2.4l, and go for about $7000 retail

so good for a bolt on performance really?

For sure, if you can justify the price. But considering it will make similar power to a stroker engine that will cost a similar amount, as well as possibly being EPA compliant.
The bonus being you can fit it yourself if mechanically competent, as well as swapping it to another car when you wish.

i guess its wat the person wants, i love the sound of forced induction an would prefere that, an like the stroker idea cos then i dont have to worry about the bottom end blowing up!

Standard bottom ends are actually pretty good if the oiling system is still in good shape.
If the engine is healthy, and you're wondering, pull the sump off and clean out the oil pickup.
EFI 5 ltr bottom ends can actually handle a fair bit of power.

The wipple is one of the best blowers on the market and they are priced accordingly, I would defiantly put one on if I had the cash
