    do you want to swap in a turbo motor or turbocharge the N/A motor you already have?

    you'll need the crossmember, exhaust and ECU.

    If you're planning on doing an NA2T swap, you'll end up with more power but it is a little more involved (though probably cheaper).

    unless you are looking for stupid boost, use the n/a motor. charlie`s car gained around 50 hp from installing a stock turbo set up on his na motor. 183 hp on 6 psi.

    There is no limit on psi, but lets just say the engine is "strong enough" for your current level of power expectation.

    Their's already plenty of proven Na's running stupid boost on this forum. When properly tuned, with the proper octane gas, having the 9-1 compression ratio rocks for a strong bottom end and fast launches. This gives you a fantastic daily drive that doesn't have a dog bottom end like most of the 8-5 and lower comrpession ratios. Also, a higher compression ratio should give one slightyly better gas mileage if your driving like a grandma and trying to stay outta the boost.

    The reality is this, how much money are you willing to spend and what do you wanna do with it? Do you want a 11 second drag car that you occasinally drive on the street or a road rocket daily driver or *weekend warrior* car?

    Ya gotta allot of reading to do bro. THeir isn't much fabrication invovled. The guys N/A vg engines that are running single digit boost #'s aren't even breaking a sweat.

    It's all about proper tuning and the proper octane gas & setup to handle the heat and prevent detonation.

    I'd love to c how much boost as stock n/a VG33E could handle on 101 race gas.

    Go NA2T. 9:1 owns. Not to mention you already know the history and the way your current motor runs, you don't have to take a gamble on a different motor. The internals are the same strength.
