How many of you have gone turbo and had your sh** blow?

or...

How many have had a good experience?

 

build it right, and it wont blow.

 

i had a good experience until i had to sell it all and return to all-motor.

the car was quick, got 26 mpg in the city, and never broke down. I miss it so much.

 

good so far, but i want more. waiting to be able to build bottom and crank it up even more.

 

haven't tuned it yet, running 8psi daily driven. i love it so much my next car will be a factory turbo car.

Hopefully i will have the best experience besides an orgasim....

 

Ill let you know this weekend

So far its just been an expensive pain in the ***.... but hopefully itll be all worth it.

 

ive had good experience with my turbo integra. I built my own turbo kit from scratch. no problems ever.

 

art and tony will be handling by install/tune so I should be in good hands.

If I can just get all the money I need!

You wont have a problem then.

 

Turbo's are crap. Never turbo your car if it didn't come that way from the factory.

I had a 2g mitsubishi GSX which was factory turbo. You know buying parts and breaking parts costs just as much as if you wanted to turbo a honda. Sure it might be faster outa the box, but to make it run 11s its gonna cost about the same as to make a honda run 11s. But 13s are easy with a awd eclipse..you can do that on the stock turbo.

I sold it and kept my honda because the stupid GSX was expensive to fix (ie new tranny $1400) and the insurance was 3-4 times as much as my honda, and the biggest problem i had was the gas milage....yay for 18mpg.

I blew it once, and rebuilt it for damn near nothing. Since then been running great.
I spent money into tuning it and making it reliable, rather than keep upgrading everything.

 

i love my turbo gsr hatch,,,, i liked it when i was running the bullshit fmu "link" setup,, now im obsessed with it since hondata,,, looking to do a built block,,,, hondata made all my FI troubles go away!!!! for real,,, never ever go back to all motor, i would have to have at least one turbo car in my fleet from now on
