turbo or not to turbo?
Well I have been doing a lot of research on allmotor and forced induction but I can't make up my mind on which one I wanna choose! I am leaning more on the FI side but I just wanted to hear you guys/girls opinion on which you think I should go! I am on a budget but I still wanna make a fast, fun but reliable daily driver! ( By the way I am keeping my ac and ps)
thanks

We need more info on your goals. horsepower goals, what car is it in, what engine do you have? I'm too lazy to write all the crap but we need to know all the info on your car and it's goals.

obviously if you post in the FI section your going to get biased answers.
keeping your ac/ps is easy just get a log mani. It can be reliable if you tune it properly and FI is the best bang for your buck... all those NA guys spend too much money on their engine to make it catch up to us

If your goals are 250-300 whp then you will not want to go n/a. The only logical way to squeeze that kind of power out of your motor will be with a turbo set up especially if your doing a stock rebuild. Now that you know that you need boost...go off and research some more.
