Actually I think its more common for Boosted Hondas to NEVER go BACK to N/A.

I don't think I will ever go N/A anything in the future.

You usually don't regret going turbo....
Instead, you usually regret buying the boost controller.

You regret the loss of money, but welcome the gain of power.

i dont regret goin turbo... i only regret spending so much money.

once you go boost.. you wont go back. and if you do... you wont settle for any less than a stock car thats already fast... or just a straight up STOCK car to avoid the moneyless pit.

Here is my opinion.I know what you mean, im going through the same thing, should i go turbo, or NA.After thinking for a while and talking to people and just the sound of a turbo ive decided to go turbo.Im just wondering what you guys mean when you say its a endless money pit.Do you mean the gas, and keeping it maintained or constantly buying parts so that they dont blow?I plan on buying a complete turbo with a boost controller and all the goodies. Can you guys just drop a little insight,thanks.

its more like, you will end up wanting more and more. Its a never ending quest for power, traction, parts and torque! You will always find something to upgrade and replace even if you buy yourself a kit. Trust me on that one.

I regret not having these 2 things connected and *working* in my integra before I blew my fully built B18C engine a month ago

B20B turbo in the works.. but without the forged pistons/rods (for now)
