Since it has 120k miles I think that might pose a lil problem. Unless the car was babied

I know for sure I need a complete rebuild of engine and trans that's why im asking witch way should I go before I start shopping for parts

superbad

if your rebuilding the engine i would turbo it
but thats my opinion
unless you need it to stay reliable then id keep it NA
not tryin to say turbos arent reliable but you are more likely to have problems

Thanks for ur input... superbad are BC coilovers a confy ride??

superbad

for being coilovers i think so, but i have nothing else to compare them too.
you will loose a little of comfy ride from the stock suspension but thats with any aftermarket suspension.
if you are ever interested in getting a set at some point let me know, the guy i went through is a really good guy and his prices are good too.

If you have a $10,000 budget then go turbo. You'll need almost that to get the turbo bought and installed let alone the engine and trans rebuild. Going n/a is a lot cheaper but the gains are not as good obviously.

Yup. SFR sells a stage 1 kit for right around $5k. Then, if you install it yourself, you'll still have to pay to tune it, unless you can do that yourself.

Another option is NA with a bottle.

Tapping the bottle is like tapping a REALLY hot girl with STDs. You want to but your afraid of the consequences.

Or the coolant level is low possibly.

But like mike said, if you have a 10k budget then turbo it. If not, nitrous.

Personally I have pretty much every NA mod available and if i had to guess at what im putting down it would be around 280, but i dont have a dyno sheet right now. Turbo would be a hell of alot more fun but only if you have the budget to do it. And if you want to do it right it will cost easily 10-15k. I plan to turbo one day but not for a few years just because of how much its going to cost

Can u tell the difference from stock till now?? Being that u have alot of upgrades

(0)

CodeRed05SER

Yeah definitely is a major difference in performance. Especially since I can tune anything I want with it pretty much, its nice. It lost alot of the low end power/torque it had but once it hits 4k it pulls really hard, and you can feel it when it starts to pull harder. A very fun car to drive, with the mods I have Im faster then alot of cars that it shouldnt be faster than
