i have a 98 talon base model. i am considering buying a stage 1 or 2 HRC kit. my car has about 89k on it. i am wondering if this is really worth it or not. just looking to see what this forum thinks.
thanks

do ao compression test and if the numbers are good, i say go for it. if not then you can always do a bottom end rebuild and then install the turbo.

you might want to do a little "compression check" (ha!) on your bank account too, but this part is kind of hard to get around...
