When I first started participating on this forum...bolt ons, cams, ecu and pullies was the main talk among forum members as far as mods. I rarely ever looked in the Turbo forums. ( Besides doing a little bit of research of course ) But now it pretty much seems as if our whole community is pretty much turbo. I wonder what the percentage is among the normal users on here. I know this probably won't give us a accurate count but i'll give it a shot anyway. For all those that are boosting *Say I* and for those not ( including those that are planning but don't have the parts on the car yet ) can we get a *Nay*

My how times have changed!:D

Nay.

I ...... just not in yet :D

I. Aye, aye, aye...

:D

a poll prolly woulda been easier, but nonetheless...Nay.

nay..

Nay... And I don't ever plan on it, either.

Nay.. But damnit one day!!

NAY!!! I am a NOS HOE!!:D

Nay, but it WILL change!

IMO this is because people are finally realizing that overall, bolt-ons are not really worth it.

You can spend $210 on a CAI, $410 on a header, $550 on cams, $550 on a greddy exhaust, $595 on a JWT ECU, $200 on UR pulleys = around $2400 - and maybe make around 150 horsepower at the wheels.

You can get a T25 turbo kit for that price or a little more and make over 200hp at the wheels. I think it's also because most everyone who has a turbo kit now started with just some bolt-ons in the beginning, and it's just the natural progression of things.

Didn't think about making a poll untill after I posted..I started a new thread with a poll so please give me your input there. Thanks!

I!
GTIRoids that is :D :cool: :D

Nay...ever. I'm all motor junkie. sr20ve someday.

Here Here!

Yup! A poll would have been better. :) No Flames just being a brat!!!;)

i'm not arguing, but just hear me out. used cai $100, headers $400, used cams $300 or 91 cam for us b14 peeps @ $85, $350 on custom b pipe and basic straight thru muff, free 17 deg timing, and $500 for a 50 shot of NOS. granted w/o the JWT ecu and nos prog it won't be as effective, but it should still work. that's roughly $1800 for nearly the same hp.

personally, when i re-enlist, i'm gettin' turbo. but that's a while from now.

OR

SR20DET= $975.00 U12 ALL DAY LONG
SAFC= $320.00
DPIPE= $150.00
EXHAUST= $300.00
MUFFLER - $ 60.00
TMIC = FREE
ECU = FREE
CLUTCH $ 400.00
BLEED VALVE = $40.00
TOTAL= $2245.00
STILL UNDER $2400.00 with over 200WHP compared to 150WHP
BOTTOM LINE BEST BANG FOR BUCK IS SR20DET
