Default Boosting your S??????

Do F20's do good with boost? I mean reliable boost???? I have a local shop that will do the install and tune that is well known and one of the best out here. So if they do well I am looking into boosting my S. My first thought would be to just get a Full-Race kit, AEM EMS, injectors, maybe feul pump... whatever.... But just wanted to know how they hold up to boost. Any input would be apreiciated.

TIA

Just an FYI my 03 has 36k on it.

One last thing... Is AEM and Motec the only EMS's out there for the S2000? Because that is all I have heard of. Thanks again.

Well, with high compression and whatnot, I just want to know. But yes I hope the pro's do explain. That was the plan. lol And as far as calling me a kid.... Thanks man, haven't been called a kid in about 10 years.

Yes they are reliable. The bottom end components for the most part are forged.

Yes they do well with stock compression. If you want to push for more power it is only a thicker headgasket away.

Yes AEM and MOTEC are pretty much you're only options when it comes to a good EMS.

do a search if you require information, trust me its out there.

For good, reliable, low boost, I would HIGHLY suggest a supercharger kit. Most of the turbo kits use the AEM EMS and require a LOT more effort (and $$) to get running really well. They can be made very powerful and reliable, but it is not as simple as a SC kit. IMO, the turbo is definitely more fun and powerful, but quite a bit more maintenance, tuning, and cost.
