All motor? As in getting rid of the turbo? Or, as in building your motor and keeping the turbo? How much boost are you running now? Will you be daily driving this car? What are your goals for your car? What's your budget?

Congratulations you are the 100,000th member to post that question in the wrong thread!!

Goals? Budget? Daily driver? Miles on motor?

All these things are essential for us to hold your hand.

If you have alota money and want the most power turbo....if you dont wanna spend as much but dont want as much power n/a. If you auto-x n/a. If you drag or just want a ***** out street car turbo. With a gsr you can easly get a good 400whp with a turbo....a reasonable kit and some forged internals......N/A you wont get so high number wise.....Personally i perfer turbo because its more power, but i dont really track my car so its more or less just bragging rights. You can have a **** load of power with boost and keep ac ps cc....all those goodies that you usually lose when you on an n/a power quest

You've got that totally backwards. Running 12 psi on a gsr is exponentially cheaper than attaining the same power N/a.

It's always more expensive to go N/A. It's a trade-off.

If it was Soooo much cheaper to go N/A, why would people Turbo?

$3500 greddy kits are a thing of the past.

EDIT: Nice to have if you can afford it though.

More like 5-10 minutes.

If I knew it was going to take an hour to find some info I'd post too. But we can all give him a break, We all had our dumb/uninformed posts in the past.

that all depends on the turbo, boost, tune, build, condition of motor.

12 psi isnt exactly what i was going for....with a gsr due to limited displacement you can only achieve so much n/a. With boost the sky is the limit....i wasnt speaking of a cheep build becuase without going wtih forged internals your not gonna get hardly anything n/a. My post was referring to people who want SERIOUS power.
