Default boost or n/a

if i boost imma swap a gsr motor if i dont imma go with a type r or k20 if i feel like saving up more and if i really wanna take the time to do that swap. im leaning toward going type r or k20. but some input from others is always nice.

this thread is pointless
it just creates an argument between the N/a guys and the boost guys
n/a is more respected to have higher numbers, and more reliable,
but boost is usually cheaper and easier reachable numbers but less reliable sometimes

do what you want

Both are equally reliable if you do it correct the first time and both can also be equally unreliable if you just throw on parts without doing some research.
