Default Will it be enough? D series question..

Hey guys,

Just got the estimate from my tuner, and it's pretty reasonable (about 550 total, including ectune + chip)...

Initially I was thinking I would get it tuned, and then when I get the $ I'd upgrade (build the head and retune)....

However, given 300-400 per tune, I'm thinking it would be more efficient to save money and do it all in one shot.

I have a 14b turbo right now, and I'm thinking that I may want to upgrade to a 16g... the 14b with a built head should put me somewhere between 230-250whp from what I've read...

I've never had a boosted car before, so I'm wondering, will that be enough to satisfy me? Or, should I track down a big 16g and just sell the 14b?

I should mention, this will be a street car... maybe occasional track use, but predominately street... I'd like to have the type of car that surprises people
