I got kinda bored at school today and started looking for 7a-fe turbo kits, the only ones I can see are the corollas. There should be no diff. between our engine and theirs right? So technically a corolla turbo would work on a celica st? Also, what do you guys think of turboing a car with almost 100k miles on it? I don't want anything insane, maybe 6-8 psi, just something to give the car the kick in the ass that it needs.

There's all kinds of other details other than a cost per cost comparison. Stuff like getting around emissions (if your state has them) and downtime. I know with a turbo, at least my car might be down for a weekend maybe rather than months. I don't know about everyone else, but my Celi is my only car, and if she's not running, I'm in a heap of trouble - so cost for a 3s swap for me would mean paying for all the swap stuff plus the cost of a second car... |
