Not worth it for a GST. Worth it for a GSX. No matter what we do, we will never have AWD.

It's all up to you. I like the idea of having a turbo'd gs. But price wise it would probably be cheaper parts wist to get faster. By the end of this month i'll have about 6g into my engine (that including turbo and building the engine)
Now for the speed and times i get from that, you could probably do the same with a gst or gsx for cheaper, but then it's easy to make a gst or gsx fast. Lot harder to do it with a rs or gs. I went this way cause it's not common (well getting more common every day emoji)
