| OK, so the Caravan has come turboed from factory. I dont really know much about this whole system but i would love to twin turbo it. (or would you call it twincharge?) Im looking at something like this. http://www.autoaccessorystore.com/resource/turbo/electricturbo.aspSimple and cheap and good solid results. Its such a great idea. The kit says " This kit boosts your car up with a 15 to 25 Horsepower Increase" , but with my factory turbo if i increase the boost to like 18-19psi and add this, i think i could get another 50-60 hp. Could my engine do that? The also say " With the installation of a performance chip, your car will be unstoppable." The caravan is unstoppable, but this would make it killer. Where can i pick up an electric turbo and chip here in town? Canadain Tire? | |

| Hmm, seem's sort of cheesy? like one of those bolt on's that insists 70-80hp gain..
I'd read some reviews on it and see if it really is what they say? Dyno slips wouldn't be a bad thing to demand? | |

See that is the point i was trying to make, actually layne many reputable companies do have dyno sheets showing that their product does actually do what they claim it to. | |

| Just FYI, sequential dual turbo set ups are for acceleration but lack the power potential of a single unit due to parasitic airflow efficiency and dispersed heat from two turbines. Stick with a single unit. In my opinion, you'll need better support mods before you consider a turbo swap. Seriously though, did you wake up one morning and decided that your goal in life was not to own a sports car, but to race high school kids in a van just to lure them into it with candy? It's difficult to understand your motives, so this has to be an elaborate joke? If not, than God save us. | |

| I think you should buy 2 of theses here electric supercharger and tri-turbo you van. This way you can make more horsepower, increase mileage and maybe they will give you a sweet deal for buying 2. | |

| if your serious about this. ive seen 9 second caravans. but it wouldn't be cheap. would be extrmely elaborate and lots of custom stuff. if you wanta trubo caravan if its early 90's find a 2.5l turbo one and boost it up and go. hard to find but non the less fun.
i saw a caravan rape. i mean rape a 911 porche twin turbo in quarter mile. needless to say i was laughing till it launched and my jaw dropped. | |

| Yeah, those engines aren't really built to handle the power of two turbos. And besides, it's a minivan. I mean it's a neat idea but It wouldn't be all that sweet to actually implement it. | |
