X51 install

Found a good deal on a X51 kit for my99 C4 $5000. Is it worth the mod and how much would install cost, keep in mind dealer will replace engien anyways due to RMS under warranty, so it will cut install cost. Thank you

This is the best way to boost your power with real hp gains keeping the reliability. You´ll feel the dif. in power mainely at high revs, 4500 up, do it.

The $$/HP ratio of X51 versus Supercharging makes the Supercharger a no-brainer.
X51 is simply not worth it

i'd say for $5K, DO IT!!! you get porsche reliability and engineering as opposed to aftermarket try-to-mimic-porsche engineering. i'm not putting down any of the aftermarket guys, but they're not porsche! the supercharger may get you more power, but it'll cost you twice as much. and you can always add a SC in the future!
