Things I often wonder myself as I am fairly new to the turbo scene. What are some things that you need to do or replace when adding a turbo to a DE that you dont have to do when swapping in a DET?
What are pros and cons of each?
I think this would go pretty well in the FAQ section as well.

Well, turbocharging a DE is automatically a little more dangerous due to it's higher compression ratio and lack of cooling devices like oil squirters in the pistons. You don't have to worry about breaking a DE (much) until about 400 WHP, though, which is really a testament to Nissan's ability to over-engineer things.
I think it'd be cool if the FAQ also mentioned reasonable power expectations for DE vs. DETs. For instance, what happens when you bolt a T25 to a DE vs. what a DET does out of the box? Then, what a T28 does to the power and torque curves of each engine? That'd be pretty cool. :)

this is going to be some kinda faq. I think it should be all done in flash with 3d run throughs of each turbo system and a model where you can choose different parts and it estimates whp. Or maybe just a regular faq will work. :)

could one pro of using the DE w/ turbo kit be that when smog check time arrives you can unbolt the kit and plug in a stock ecu to pass?
