Turbo or N/A?

Everywhere I see people talking about how they had much more fun when their car was eitther stock, or slightly built. Everyone starts to build their car and it always breaks and is always having issues. So I was wondering what everyone on here's opinion was. Are you glad you went turbo'd or do you wish you stayed N/A?

Just do twin-turbo. That way if one of the turbos breaks, you still have another one.

This works very well, but you need to keep in mind that the overdrive shaft might exceed its limit because it will have to compensate for the other turbo's half squared A/R.

ive personally had more fun in low power built NA cars than in turbo'd cars. keep in mind im comparing the built 86 i drove s opposed to my s13 coupe with a slightly modified sr. stock for stock though? turbo all the way.

Generally with 240's, more power = More shit is gonna go wrong...

OR You can keep it bone stock and still run into issues if not properly maintained.

OR you can properly build the engine and take good care of it so less shit goes wrong and even more power.

Cheap, Powerful, Reliable. Pick 2

Unfortunately, most people pick powerful and cheap.

However, the term "CHEAP" should not be used for turbo KA or SR20's because we're talking about used/dumped engines here.

Perhaps we'll do a bit of searching before being flamed next time?
