<------- The first time, yes. Blew the engine after a day and a half. Other than that...no regrets. Boost away!

I've never had one, but I did have a turbo'd H22. I think you will be unhappy if you do end up driving a turbo h/b series in your vehicle.

Im gonna go turbo in about a year on my SOHC i have looked into it and so far everyone had good things to say, build up your internals turn up the psi and you can beat alot of swaps ...but swaps are still badass

jin_ not pounding on you, but really interested. But why would someone be unhappy dribing a turbo'd h or b series in their car?
