Pff on turbo

[RacerFreakXXX]

+1 on that. Make sure you car will be able to handle the power before you add it. My friend has 260whp on a 05 civic si and has no diff, no suspension, just a front strut bar and tq damper. I told him to just spend the money and buy a rsx and do suspension and now he wishes he had done what I said. Also I might add, turbo kit or supercharger it's the same cost. I priced it out and to run on a stock engine the turbo kit just takes some time in the shop with a dyno and custom piping.

They sound a bit different don't they? Plus since a supercharger's boost is constant and a turbo generates it through exhaust I would assume a turbo's boost gauge would be more fun to watch.

Plus, there is that unbelievably sexy hiss sound that a turbo makes as it spools down (I think that's what's going on)

As far as my thoughts on power vs. suspenion: I went suspension first since I'm a budget modder so it looks like I'm good!

Eh wat n/a waste of money? Then half the members on this site wasted there money. It might not be the best setup for our small displacement engines but i dont think its a waist of money.

-1 on that. We drive a yaris and would be lucky to see +20whp with bolt ons . I should end it there but let me explain. Unless you are boosted up your stock suspension is enough to handle what ever bolt on you are going to put on. To gain all the benifits out of it suspension should be done imo. And i think most are taking it a little too far with all this talk about handling. Most here do not tack and will not be taking any 90 or 100 degree turns at an accelerated speed. And the cost is not the same. Much cheaper to turbo than S/C including piping. Dont add dyno to it cause you have to do the same if you S/C.

I have heard many say you need to do work on suspension before you do your bolt ons because {reason} and {reason}. We dont gain that much from bolts ons not enough to warrant struts, coilovers ect.

For those who dont kno or have forgotten my past posts i have already done suspension about a year ago before the hack even.
