ok so which is more reliable??

 

take your pick......

 

Not this again....

 

sorry havent been on this forum for yonks.... has this topic been covered?

edit: i'll do a search

 

Search does not work.

I'll answer it, but I have to say this first, "A car is as reliable as it's owner."

With that said, as a general rule of thumb: the more you move away from Factory Specs, the less reliable it gets. This applies to both Normally Aspirated and Forced Inducted Engines.

 

basically, NA will be more reliably if installed correctly. But there are folks that run turbos with no trouble. so either way

 

its all about the quialty of the parts and the tuning, and how crazy the owner is, if the owner boost 18 pounds everywhere, well you know the rest of the story

 

san!....feelin the boost bug eh?....

 

as if dude........ i just wanted peoples opinion. Im NA forever.

i

 

If reliability is your main concern, stay stock.

 

lolz...i knew somebody would come up with a smartazz comment like that

 

smartass, or just smart?


rob- who is not stock

 

I think that it all depends... NA with 230@ the wheels probably isn't as reliable as a turbo with 200@ the wheels, assuming everything was done correctly.

 

depends how crazy of a set up your planning on running !
just dont use cheap parts and have it done right the first time !

 

IMHO NA is better. No laggggggggggg.

 

good point

 

Then what's the point of turbo if you get less?

 

ask the same question ...get the same answer....its all about the tuning!!
