Is it really worth it?
I got a Drag Turbo setup for my 94 GSR and was wondering is it really worth all the problems? I know people will say if it's tuned it will be good, but I'm still worried about ruining my only daily driven car. I'm only planning at setting the boost up to 9 psi max.

Ummm. . . .YES!
It is ADDICTING. I went turbo last year, and then blew the GSR motor, then hadda go NA, it ****** sucked. Now I'm back to turbo, and its soooo much better

DO IT!!!!!! In all seriousness, I love how a turbo honda feels over any stock turboed car, the transition in to boost is just violent.
Just keep money set aside for any problem that could arise

get some fuel management, get it tuned well and conservatively, and it will drive like its stock.
you can enjoy years of boosted fun, but 99% of us have a counterclockwise addiction to to the boost **** and thats why turbo has a bad name, take your time on the install and do it right. NA **** can be half ***'d half the time and be fine, boosted **** needs to be done all or none

Re: Is it really worth it? (Lucky925l)
the problem is I only have the money for the turbo setup, the shop thats doing it for me says they will tune it so it's like stock, but read all these posts of people having problems , and I don't have the money for later, but ohh well I'm still going it.
Boost is like poontang, once you get it you always want it!

Do you mean you are just going to run an open downpipe on a daily driver?? If so, I'm impressed that you can deal with that much noise day to day.
