AGP Turbochargers, Inc.

Someone in the AZ area needs to hop on this. Perfect opportunity for a nice turbo kit!

Just thought I'd relay the message.

If they need any Cold Weather testing cars, I live in Mass and would be up to it...

AAAWWWW Man, they only want 2nd gen xB's. IT'S NOT FAIR IT'S NOT FAIR IT'S NOT...Ok I'll stop crying.

man i wish i lived in arizona and not arkansas

There wouldn't be enought 2nd gen owners out there willing to buy it if it came out. Way too many people are all talk and when it comes down to buying it they won't.

Tarbaby75 · 05-01-2009, 03:38 PM

Yeah, I'm trying to talk 'em into hookin up a 1stGen xB. Because that's where it's at right? The OG boxes will always be in style just like old beetles[not the group neither]. C'mon..i'm black...Beetles?

seppuku27 · 05-01-2009, 03:48 PM

I doubt theres enough people in 1st gens that are going to want a kit also. The boxes don't attrack to many 'performace' people it seems like mostly 'show' guys.

masterbB · 05-01-2009, 05:01 PM

well i just hope they'll take an auto...

TheToaster · 05-02-2009, 03:13 PM

I doubt many 2nd gen owners will be into modding the xb's performance wise but hey i may be wrong.

masterbB · 05-02-2009, 04:13 PM

why wouldn't a second gen want to mod perfomance wise? thats like saying a tc wouldn't want to do performance mods...

shawnofthedead420 · 05-02-2009, 08:21 PM

x2^^^^^^^^
id be all over this if i lived in AZ!

Ummm because its an xB. Dont get me wrong, I'm not knocking it at all, in fact I encouraging it hints why I posted this up.

I have a 1st gen and am going to be building it very soon (finishing faster projects first), you'd have to follow some of my responses in the 1st gen section to get to know me, my knowledge, and my intentions a little better.

Not many share the motivation of building a fast xB like some of us on here simply because its an xB...............

It should actually be easier to make really big power on the xB 2... the 2.4L takes to boost really well.

Dig dig dig. We have a winner. No one bought an XB to be their fast car. Many people that own one won't go past I/H/E. Even when they get an 200 dollar intake they complain about how much it cost so do you think they are going to pay for a turbo kit? Besides most XB owners are into show not go.

Actually I'm planning a mix of performance mods and exterior, I want a fast xB, but I may be a minority. I was going to get the Factory Supercharger, but didn't have the cash and now they are impossible to find...

If I lived out there I would be on it like Peanut butter and Jelly on White Bread

DJbigJ · 05-04-2009, 04:42 PM

I too am building a perfomance/style 2nd gen. I have already purchased the TRD supercharger and hope to have it installed with in the next couple of weeks. As far as a the TC thing goes... I rather enjoy kicking the crap out of a few TC owners in a race already. Yes I didn't buy my xB because I wanted to make a track monster, but knocking around a few "ricers" will sure be interesting. I have a build thread over in the "Members Rides" section titled "My xB GT build" if you wanna follow along.

I think there are alot of people that WANT a fast XB but not alot have the cash to make theirs fast. The current economy doesn't help either. I'd like to see a few high HP running around the track I think it would be awesome but I doubt there will be or at least not anytime soon.

Calesta · 05-04-2009, 10:51 PM

Very very few people who talk about adding power actually have the resources to do it. It's VERY expensive on ANY car.

shawnofthedead420 · 05-04-2009, 11:11 PM

you just have to decide wich way you want to go. i dont wanna here that people dont have the funds to go fast. theres sooo many people with thousands of $$$ invensted in bags, paint, wheels, and ect. the true statement on this thread is that people dont buy xb's with performance in mind. thats why it isnt mass marketed to the xb world.
