try using the search on stuff like this first. the kl-de only has potential if ur boosting if ur going n/a they dont respond that good to mods the only way to get good strong power is boosting

They have a lot more potential than the k8 does thats for sure. I have one and I love it. It has about the same torque as the ZE has as well, so you can get them pretty cheap and be about as fast as a ZE. I dont really know what fieromx3 was talking about them not reponding to mods, but like everyone said they do run great with boost.

Didnt Rebel2k change his pistons recently? I thought he mentioned something about putting in Mustang rods along with pistons from some twin turbo car.

they dont really intake and exhaust would be noticeable same with an intake manny from a ze but other than that nothing is really noticeable also i have heard of that too but it does got tonnes more potential than the k8 and respond extremely well to boost. they do respond pretty good to mods but not nearly as much as they could like alot of other cars do im not really saying that they dont react to mods at all or anything

u should post this in the forced induction forum as u might get more responses and help in there. it depends how much power u want and how much boost ud like and how much money u got to burn give details and also do alot of reseach on turbos
