Ya, I hear the turbos are pretty bad A. I need to ride in one. I read about one in a mag that was putting down 400rwhp. Holy crap!
I played with a Lexus IS300 last night coming home from my girl's. He kicked my ass, I didn't have a chance. 
I cannot *wait* to get turbo'd. I did fishtail out of the parking lot earlier, though, and it wasn't even snowy out. 
BTW, YellowLightning - your sig says you drive a MustanD. Might wanna change that.

I raced an old vw bug and ate him alive! woohoo, alot beat my friends ..93 eclipes GS, after i did timing advance, cold air, weight reduction, roller rockers+ light porting and gutting, i would play with my friend in his '00 v6 convertable stang, i would stay with him through 3rd, then he would just roll away...LOL, sad.
Now my SVO is weak at only 14 psi , but I give ricers a hard time around here

hey my stock N/A 91 2.3 beat an 86 Prelude SR automatic a while ago. I was pretty proud of her, but we only won by a hair. Other than that, i haven't found too many cars I can beat. I'd go ahead and get a V8 if i could find one in good a condition as my own-everything I find for less than 3000 has a beat up body or the engine's been ragged out. I put a dynomax muffler on mine and i think it may of given me a couple of horses but I'm thinking about finding a turbo- if anyone knows where you can buy a good aftermarket turbo/intercooler for a '91 2.3 let me know.

lol me and my cousin were bored one night.
so he jumped in the kia sportage, with the turbo button on!
and we took em for a spin
i launched at 3000, he was at 2500 and were off.
my clutch is slipping at that time so, i took off really crappy
but he was skreetchin them for about 2 seconds then caught.
long story short at secound gear i was about a car and half away.
it was fun though
