Why dont you answer the question yourself? Why should you? Is this something you have the will to do? Money? Patience?

If all you are after is a cheap way to go down the 1320...go nitrous.

because turbo is usually faster than naturally aspirated as far as dollar per HP.

I'm going boost because I'm a sellout. If i were hardcore I would go all motor, but I wanted to try boost at least once. It's addicting to drive.

Aye the "Hand of God" as my dad put it is great. We were thinking of getting a Saab 900 turbo, a car with not very high hp, and it was great driving with the turbo.

i would go turbo because the power is always there. i had nitrous before and it sucked when i had to wake up early or cut my lunches short to go get my bottle filled up for a race event. it started to get kind of expensive too, and sometimes when i really wanted to race somebody on the street, if i didn't have my nitrous to fall back on. i usually didn't race. i did this for almost 2 yrs.

The reason you should go turbo is because you'll have boost along with maD 3rd gear VTEC ownage.

For real though, boost ownz

Turbo it, once you drive it with a turbo, you will never, ever want to take it off and drive a stock engine again. Feeling the boost come on is a mad rush. It goes all the way, throughout all the gears. You want to slam the gas every chance you get.

I think a turbo Si is a good way to go to have a pretty fast honda and still a good looking car. I used to have a 2000 red Si and I loved that car. I had it lowered, tint, stock wheels, no body kit, no spoiler, and I got tons of compliments all the time on how it was such a clean looking honda.

I got rid of it for my drag car and a truck. I miss my Si a lot, but know I couldn't have the performance I do now in that car.

I just ran a turbo Si on the street this last week. Best out of 5, from a roll at 60mph. I walked away having won 5/5, and they were all pretty ugly (read: bus lengths).
