I am asking because I am thinking of going turbo...my comp is 210/205/200/205 for my 94 GSR with 125,600 miles.

I was wondering who regrets going turbo or has taken their turbo out?

How long have you had it and what kind of mistake or problem caused this?

Not one day do I regret it. Its blessing to have boost. How can you breathe without turbo? No pun intended.

It's the best thing ever!!!!!!

 

my only regret is the money I've spent. And I haven't even finished yet. I can't wait...

 

you may regret it if you spent lots of money only to have problem after problem with it. If you enjoy frustration and you enjoy the nice fuzzy feeling you get when you do something yourself and get it right, then you will love the turbo--if all goes well.

Plan it out thoughtfully and take the time to do it yourself. Please don't pay to have someone else do it for you. This way if something goes wrong you will know where everything is and you can fix it yourself. Its really not all that hard.

One thing you will regret, is the day you got involved with this because it will suck your bank account dry and it will only make you want more power.

I love the boost though and I will never go back to a NA car again. I see more turbos in my future.

well put

 

I had a load of fixable problems off the bat. But months of trouble free and I love it.

 

Is this question a joke or something?

 

Only regret I have is not goin turbo earlier and wasting money on intake and headers.

 

I regret not having one. If I had a blowoff, I wouldn't need a radio!!!

 

No regrets here at all...best money I've spent...more to follow

 

SO true. I'm trying to sell mine now (header/intake) so I can buy my turbo. $1275 to go until I'm boosting. I actually wish I would have never bought any of the mods I have (exhaust, CF hood, rim/tires, VAFC, Strut bars) and just saved for a turbo from the start. I could have been boosted like a year ago!

i was gonna say i regret going JRSC...but it made me .learn. .so. .much. i dont regret it at all.

 

i regret not listening to everybody and running 8 psi on a stock B18C5 and pump gas, and losing all my rings........but now JE and eagle and ARP will be helping me with some real power, i cant wait to tear it down.
i was regretting it alittle until i recently drove my friends GSR with IHE and a 55 shot. i just kept waiting for the power to come on but it never did. embrace the boost

 

The only people that regret it are the ones that blew their motors.

 

HAHA...I think about that mistake daily. Just think of all the thngs I could have accompanying my turbo now if i would have known earler. Funny thing about the having the turbo is that you are spending money on modifying the modification(EBC,WG,better exhaust)...you fellow turbo guys no what I mean.

 

Only thing I regret is getting the greddy kit. . .should of got rev-hard or drag

 

that is my only regret, having emptied my life savings (and some) to this thing called the "darkside."

let me warn others, when you go turbo, it WILL be a downward spiral. you will crave more power with a reliable setup. with that said, a built engine and stand alone would be in your near future if you're a power fiend like myself.

 

Just get yourself a larger turbo, you have all the piping. Did you get the kit that came with the intercooler? If, not might as well get one of those.

 

maxim--sent you an IM

 

spendin too much money is the only thing i regret. other than that... the power is cool! its turbo fever!!

 

hell naw, since the car got the swap and the turbo. Never regreted the damn sound of a BOV<<< I havent heard music in my hatch since its been in. Thats the damn truth.. Damn regret was the damn money from my damn accountthat went into my sweet car>> HAHA.

go boostin youll like it then love it... p out

 

No regrets what so ever here especially on my greddy turbo. Midrange power is my preferrence as opposed to peak power but again Boost in general is the best thing that can happen to someones life!

Nick

 

i love my boost

 

I second that Greddy midrange power... I love my Greddy kit... There would be no way I could do my daily canyon carving *commute* with a DRAG kit on my Civic! The Greddy lags as it is!

A few weeks ago, I disabled the turbo before I had to take it into the body shop... (damn Ford driver hit my PARKED Civic...) and OMG... I can't believe I ever drove without a turbo!
