Whats the better upgrade for right now?

I have a small amount of money saved up and am not sure what is a better buy right now. I trying to decide between saving up more to buy a turbo or going with an airdog since they are on sale right now. I don't race or sled pull I have a 25' boat that I tow about 4 months out of the year but love the power of the cummins. I just purchased a smarty s-06 with the standard revo SW and my tranny is working fine right now so its hard to convince the wife to fix something thats not broke so no tranny for now. What do you think airdog or turbo?

Airdog first then turbo. Your turbo will handle about 500hp before getting too toasty daily driving.

I like the Airdog idea myself. Good filtration is paramount on these trucks, and since you will need the additional fuel at some point in the future I think it's a win win.

airdog, trans, turbo.....the turbo will support 500hp, the trans will not (for long), and the stock lp is borderline at 500hp

I like em both, but many get the 150 because its only a little bit more than the 100. If you don't intend to exceed 550hp the 100 will be fine, but if there's any chance you may want to push the envelope go for the 150 now and get it out of the way. I agree filtration and water separation are critical to the cp-3s health, especially when it comes to pushing them to the limit.
