ok ok, my bad, but really it makes alot more sence, most people that think about a turbo, is becasue..
A. its cheaper..... which its not, in the long run, it will most likly be more.
B. its easier, not really, when you tear apart your engine, and do it over and over.
C. your just slapping it on........ stock engines arent mad for turbos, yeah you can replace the internalsmakes more sence, but your going to spend alot more on doing that. and it still wont handle as much power.
D. Its also tfaster................your also doing just as much work, and down time....... most likly more down time for problems...

Chucho and the rest of us have heard this 5000 times. Everyone here has. This isn't a "Should I turbo my 5s-fe" thread, it's a "What else do I need" thread. Shut up already!

Good luck chucho, how long do you think until you start and how many km/miles on the engine?

Oh.. and are you doing the labour yourself or are you getting a shop to do it? (DIY turbo = fun!!)
