Default Would you?

hey,

i got a stock vx motor (d15z1) and i was wondering would you put a turbo kit, running at around 7 or 8 psi. it has 176KM on the engine and still runs good.

thanks

I wouldn't. I'd save the money spent on the turbo kit, and do an engine swap. They will yield about the same power (assuming low boost), and you won't have to worry about the engine blowing up from boost!

B16a is cheap, and a good motor for that car - I have the VX model too.

Ohhh, definitely save up and just get a swap instead, like the other guy said. If you don't have the money to just throw in another engine, then a turbo is most likely not for you.
