That's a good analogy, but I'm not sure how it fits

I'm just speaking from personal experiences. The motor is solid, but I worry about it ALL the damn time. If I had something N/A, I wouldn't worry about it at all, TBH. There's just so many more things that can go wrong with a boosted motor, IMO, than with an N/A build.

And @ UPS car!

UPS car delivers beat downs to them honda's son!

Try the VE and then go boost if you get bored. There's enough support with the crew around you to switch **** up and try a bunch of different setups with minimal spending.

Agreed. You've got one hell of a support team there to aid you in your decisions!

Turbo is a headache man. Ask me how i know? My car ran good for about 2 months and i had nuthing but problems after that. Either A build it the right way with fresh bearings new HG and whatever else you wanna replace while its cracked upen and put it together. Then you are fo sure ready for a more reliable car. If all you want is t28 at 10 psi there should be no problem. thats what im going to run with a few extra power adders

In my opinion, over 200 wtq with FWD doesn't make sense unless all you do is roll race or drag with slicks.

You sir are smoking crack. I have 230whp and get fine traction on street tires and drag radials hook all day. Pretty much if you know how to drive a car and not just stomp your foot to the floor traction should be ok. Also a thing called properly setup suspension helps with traction. Road racing on slicks on all sides (I mean soft slicks the ones made for race cars) will handle amazing with more than 200whp and probably wont lose grip I've seen people road race with 300whp and no problems with traction.

HaHa yea man b13 with proper suspension and tires = <3 on the track. Plus the fact that mine weighs very close to 2000lbs and has just as much hp as that sti listed in the sig I don't think It would even keep up. I'm sure you even have more power than I do Cliff.
