turbos kits on n/a cars are usaully pretty picky, and take a lot of work to get it running well, and get it well tuned. i've seen one guy in a subaru go through and engine or two because of bad detonation on his turbo'd RS. Most newer n/a motors have a higher compression, which makes running lotsa boost dangerous. Most factory turbo'd cars have a lower compression, to jam in tons of boost, the compression on my motor is only 8:1, one reason for the complete lack of low end grunt (read, absolutly nothing until 2000 rpm)

Yep yep Turbos for N/A cars... well they no worky so good. many misfires and the tunning has to be precise. even Adam Saruwatari from Nitto Racing (NSX pro Stock)has gone from an all turbo setup to a S/C setup. he states that turbos require too much finesse and fine tunning. even S/C for this car have issues. If you have a very good mechanic in the family or if your one go for it. I would want a turbo, it would be nice but not at the expense of my car, I know we can take that 87 yugo and fit it witha turbo thats should get us about 102 ponnys under the hood and if the car disinegrates we can still tradein the turbo

Sorry man for 5gs i will drop the 3liter in my car. Plus some extra to port and polish everything. it wont have the numbers like the turbo but it will be a N/A car which wont blow up or die on me. but like joe said lets wait and see what happens.

i would also perfer the 3Liter, in stead of the turbo, its just to damn pricey, the SC is what 3000-3500, still a grand less then the TC.
im sure if i looked i can find a 3.0 block for 800. plus another 400 for other necessary parts. and if you do the work your self that is still 2000-3000 less then a TC. u can put that money torwards a LSD, and other goodies that will make the 3.0 run at 240lbs at the wheels like dave has.
forgot this full name, if u check the 3.0 forums ull know who im talking about.
