Traction control? Hell, my Sol doesn't even have ABS.

The traction control we all know and love is when you can keep it going in the general direction you originally pointed it.

Been looking @ the Hahn and DDM setups and while they're both beautiful... I think I'm leanin' toward the turbo. Little easier on things on the long roadtrips that the wife and I have planned this summer. But then again.... I dunno

Not sure what you mean by "easier on things", but the DDM S/C is virtually an on-demand

item...it is by-passed until you want in on line. You can drive all day without engaging it.

does the belt drag it down at all when not engaged? I mean is it noticeable? I envisioned it to be somewhat like having the A/C on? and how does the engage / dis-engage work? I'm not all that familiar and not 100% either way yet.

A by-pass valve is open off- boost resulting in no pressure in the blower and about a 1 HP

"drag" on the engine...you feel nothing. When you step down on the gas (reducing vacuum)

the S/C engages in a linear fashion. It feels as though you have a bigger engine...smooth,

powerful and all there whenever you want it...not peaky or unsettling at all.

Amen to all Jackknife said .... I have even picked up some mpg ... I got 31.6 on my last trip ... using the cruise control ... you won't go wrong with DDMWorks s/c .... excellent product and even better customer service.
