OMFG. I never thought I could hear that from someone! Well if it makes you happy, go N/A. But WARNING: you will not get NEAR the hp figures you got turbo'd. N/A is difficult to make whp.. and more costly. But if you want to make a high rev screamer, then go for it!

How about upgrading to a bigger turbo, then upping the boost? That will give you more pleasure then all motor anyday.

Did you expect to be happy with a greddy turbo kit? They are just toys.

maybe you should try turning the boost up some more. The greddy turbo can support 12psi or more on a d16z6.

I have a friend that dyno'd around 300hp at the crank on a d16z6 with a stock greddy turbo at 15psi. Pretty amazing if you ask me.

For those who don't think that the greddy kit can't get you anywhere, I've done a 12.3 at 111.11 on some slicks with pretty much just the kit, no exhaust, nothing internal done, car weighed in at 2850, and I still have that dinky greddy downpipe, go figure.
