Letting fear prevent you from learning and accomplishing something is cowardice. Not wanting to invest the time to do it is just being impatient and lazy. That's right. I said it.
Read. Educate yourself. You'l look back and wonder WTF you were so scared of.

You'll never match my *** pulling skills

You asked a vague question, not specifying a power goal or the purpose of the car

So pick a power goal and go from there, that dictates your whole build

No, you said "most"

Pick an actual number

 

Because everything from elevation, humidity, temperature, health of the motor, modifications to the motor, etc all determine your pump gas limit

You need to decide on a tangible number and go from there

Here's my .02 on this "argument".

What he's saying is, you can go pretty high on 93 octane. But having a specific horsepower in mind is more helpful for us, to help you. You may also want to consider how much power you truly want to run, keeping in mind you would be dailying an over powered FWD manual that, could be, spinning through gears. Keep practicality in mind if you're DD, when picking your specific horsepower number.

Based on what you're saying, you should expect to pay alot of money. Keep this golden rule in mind:

-Cheap
-Reliable
-Powerful

You can pick two, and what you get will be the opposite of the third that you didn't pick.

Well, for a daily street car, anything over 350 is a waste because you have traction issues and a horrible power band. You would want a turbo that spooled quickly and makes full torque by 4000.

 

i honestly think your house power goal should be around 230 whp . which will be a simple set up. a log manifold you can find it as cheap as 25 bucks.get a garret t3 turbo ,tial waste gate , bov , ebay intercooler piping . you will need a couple more stuff. keep the waste gate spring at about 6-7 psi spring . i might be forgetting some stuff but all the little stuff adds up. and dont forget about tuning

 

Also, if you're wanting to stay with stock internals, figure 275 as the highest safe horsepower goal.

 

You could be unique and do NA to 230 fairly easily with alot of reliability. You got a good platform for it, just putting that out there. I wouldn't necessarily consider it a waste of money

 

Let's get downright simple and stop wasting everyone's time? How about just pick a build thread with a starting platform and end result being similar to what you want to accomplish? Follow it. No need to invent the wheel all the time. Don't know why noobs insist on thinking their goals, build and circumstances are soooooo different than any that went before you. And with what you want to do, cutting edge or the newest tech isn't needed. Tried and true will work good enough.
