To boost or not to boost....
....had been my question since day one of purchasing this car.
Well, after taking a couple of spirited sprints inside Taurrans' (Craig) car, that question has changed to WHEN TO get the boost.
Sweet car, nice power delivery, and sounds very nice to boot.
So now I need to pay WAY more attention to this particular forum.
The only thing that could possibly change this, is winning the NX kit during this years "RUN event". Then again, I could sell it? Hmmmm.....
Thanks for the rides Craig! See what you have now gone and started?

Believe me, I know nothing is a guarantee, when it comes to F/I.
But like you said, "live a little".
If you have the funds then I say boost. But what can go wrong will go wrong so be prepared for worst case scenario! I just got my turbo and I estimated everything to cost around 7k and im close to 9k now and my car still isn't running right! Hopefully you will have better luck then me.

you can boost at very safe levels... somethign that gives you around 340 whp... and then save up for a build motor.... cause if you go for a build motor right away, you will be in the 13k-15k..at least... done right and you are way up there closer to 20s
if you dont plan on going more than 400s nor with out a build engine... thne jsut supercharge your ride.... this setups are easy to install too

Going FI is still the single best mod, dollar for dollar and $$$ to peformance, available out there. These days the FI systems available out there are much safer than they used to be, especially the JWT/s.
I started with a supercharger in 2003 and presently replacing the sc for the JWT Twin turbos

And if you are not ready to just dive right in, do not, and I emphasize, DO NOT read back on the threads reading the horror stories.
Trust me, I know...
