turbocharged daily driver
What would I need to build a reliable turbocharged car that I can drive daily. There are times where I am stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for 2 hours, I just want a reliable turbocharged daily driver.

Re: turbocharged daily driver (foreverjenn)
ur gonna need a fully built motor. we are talking forged pistons/rods/sleeves and two block guards. the stock radiator will overheat in traffic so ur gonna need a fluidyne. make sure u get the turbo installed by a good reliable shop cause u dont want to do it urself, u might mess something up. oh and ur gonna need some stage 3 axles cause u dont want to be on ur way to work and have an axle break. nah mean?
or
just bolt on a kit and u will be fine. which answer u like better?

Umm....the 1st. No, the 2nd. No, the 1st. Wait, what?
Can't beleive you didn't mention the Stage 8 clutch. That's essential for a DD.

My car is a turbo daily driver, and I mean every single day roughly 12000 miles a year..... I sit in traffic, but not for hours on end. My car has been VERY reliable thus far

There's nothing wrong with a built motor.. I've got 12k miles so far and ticking.. No problems with the motor so far.. For a budget setup just pistons and rods will be fine. I haven't had a problem w/ factory honda axles either...

Re: turbocharged daily driver (SlowTeg)
sorry guys but i was just kidding, i guess some of u thought i was serious. for a reliable daily driven turbo car just keep everything as stock as possible. just get a good turbo kit and u do a good install and u will be fine.
