21333, To Turbo or not to Turbo? that is the question.
Posted by motherflipper, May-05-02 10:04 AM
I really can t afford a GS-t or a GSX, they sell those for about $15,000-19,000 around here. So, my question is... What s the down side to installing a turbo kit in a n/t.
i don t want anything superfast, but i want a little something. besides it ll be a couple of years before i would even think about going past stage three, and buy then i would have replaced all the internals.
So what do you guys/girls think?
Thanx in advance.

If you dont mind blowing your engine dont boost over 6-7 psi untill you build up your motor. It also depends on how many miles your engine has. If it has over 70,000 miles and you add boost to it I would plan on rebuilding in the near future. Our engines are tuff but after a while somethings got to give.

I would never have thought I would be saying things like this but its the truth and I found out the hard way. I am sure anyone else that has blown their engines would say the same thing to you.
