Anybody here take the plunge and going turbo or supercharged and later regret it?

Post up!

 

Only regret I have was not going big at first. I have supercharger, na turbo, and now built with largest turbos. Could have saved a lot just going big first.

Also another regret a lot of people haves choosing the right shop. That will make the difference in you regretting your build.

 

You'll never regret it unless you pop your motor, or you bought a turbonetics kit

 

Nope! No regrets here! I love my boosted G!

I loved my G when it wasn't sitting engine-less. Ohwell rebuild is in the works.

 

I regret not adding a plenum spacer, dual exhaust, something other than the greddy e-manage from the begining. Live and learn

 

I regret not leaving the stock engine in with 530bb turbos on it.

 

I love my GT25R's (530BB) and stock block setup. I regret nothing except my UTEC...although at the time there weren't many (affordable) options.

Dumping the UTEC and getting UPREV tune within the next couple weeks. Can't wait!

 

same here^^^

Im ditching my e-manage and getting a haltech, i start my payments tomorrow lolz

 

^^^ I haven’t boosted my car yet, but I’m ditching the UpRev Osiris software in favor of a ProEFI Pro48 ecu when the single turbo goes in…

Any reason why? The increased power wasn’t worth it in your opinion?

 

I regret not going turbo over my supercharger, but I like my vortech.

 

I'm guessing the factory-like tq curves and reliability of small BB turbos on the stock block. FI = mo money mo problems

 

I see possibility in this thread.

Has utec caused anyone else electrical issues?

 

I regret getting a Stage 1 Fuel Return System for my hks s/c

 

I regret not getting an 2003 E55 AMG and leaving it stock...lol.

I can't really complain as my Vortech has given me no real problems, but it's not as quick as I expected it to be and it kinda makes me wish I had gone single turbo ( not twin turbo though, I prefer easier install ).

 

Yes. Utec failed at about 5000 miles.
Currently using Osiris

So I guess I can regret using Utec also

 

only time I regret it is looking at the amount of money and time into it. The car is a blast, but I could have had as much fun with other cars..... considering I could have bought at least a couple decent ones with the same money. I feel I am kind of stuck with the car. I will never get near what I have into it; which I know and expected, but still has me thinking... what else I could have

 

I do regret it all

 

i'm still hanging there, on the edge.. if things doesn't go well, i'll just give up..

Vortech SC here..
