Go ride in a N/A car that is like yours then drive your car then I want you to say i want to go back ...I could never go back, boost is the only answer...

ok.. maybe i wont "retire" in the world of turbos... but i'll probably not boost another honda/acura... unless i dont get a G35 or somethin. haha
i know i'll want to go back to boost.. but it just isnt as fun anymore. so much $$$...
just like DIREP, got bigger thangs to take care of.
what i really want it a nissan sylvia with a sr20det. the motor can handle a good amount of boost.

Yeah, I had the displeasure of driving "N/A" for a day in my LS when my intercooler piping blew off one day. It's the worst feeling waiting for that turbo kick that never comes...
Wait did you want a response that would HELP ease you back to N/A status? oops

Re: any retired turbo fanatics?
I've tried to go back to stock a couple of times, both times it wasn't long before I started collecting turbo parts again. It's like a god damn drug. You get used to your turbo, sell it and take it off, drive your car stock and think "no way, my car wasn't THIS slow stock was it?"

Same here. The M3 just wasn't quite same when it came to all out acceleration. Everything was just too damn expensive. Dumped 6k into the car and it got me nowhere fast.

I've been turbo-less for about 7 months after being turbo'd for 2 years. I miss the boost but once I finish college I'll turbo'd again The good thing about being stock is that I can mash the gas all the time and I'll still be below the speed limit
