Well, suggestion #1 is that you learn how to correctly write vtec. It's not vtech, Vtec, v-tec, Viagratech... it's simply spelled "vtec" in all lowercase.

If you plan to auto-x and drag then you are kind of stuck as far as turbo's go and wanting the ideal setup. In auto-x you are going to be moving relatively "slow" compared to drag. You'll want a turbo that is going to spool up pretty quick in the low rpm range. This will help you get out of those corners quick and on the the next turn. If you drag this kind of setup the turbo is probably going to peak early on. That's not ideal for drag since you want the turbo to carry you through the high rpm range. If you spend the big $ and purchase a full ball bearing turbo then you might be able to offset some of that turbo lag that is customary to high rmp range turbo's. I don't feel that this will be the ideal setup for becoming the auto-x king, but it may do the trick and keep you happy.

LOL, awesome.

Hehe, anyway, I agree with the above post. Turbo'ing might not be the best solution for a strictly auto-x car. If you must turbo, then just use the A6 motor. I think a built N/A sohc vtec motor would be better suited for auto-x than a turbo'd sohc vtec.

Accually, VTEC is correct too. wouldn't that be the same as vtec or Vtec or hey evn VtEc or VteC or vteC. Yep all the same.

But your righ Vtech is a phone and V-Tec is made up from spoon.

At a recent auto-x event that I attended, some of the faster cars that raced were turbo'd...dont be thrown off by some of this stuff, a SOHC turbo car would be dope and get the job done. But a lot of it has to do with the driver.
