Default t3/4 turbo system good or bad? Pros And cons?

I am about to get a turbo and I was wondering if anyone had one. If you do tell me the pros and cons. Will my motor blow up if I run 7 lbs of boost?

t3/t4 is off the hook! 7lbs of boost is all good with stock internals as long as everything is installed right.

turbo is great as long as you have the time , money and patience to insure it gets done right the 1st time . and to tune it. and deal with problems on the way that you didnt expect.

forget the turbo and go buy a car that has turbo stock (WRX).

It isn't worth it if you don't have a lot of money. Turbo in a car may give you a lot of torque and HP, but it is going to take your money and time...

But if you do it, just do it right the first time.

DUH, when you modify cars, whether all motor or forced induction, it will end up costing you money.

I'm talking about the follow up costs... not just the parts and a little labor.

Oil changes
MPG
Tuning
Blow a motor - all too common
blow a tranny
etc etc etc.

I'm not saying that turbo sucks (I still have it :thumbup I'm just saying that it costs too much money not only to put in but to maintain.

DUH
