#25913 ok so whats gona be more cost effective here for bang for the bucks? turbo or n/a? if turbo what needs to be replaced ive found a few kits to run on standard internals apparently but im not sure how true this is. basically i want to run decent power either way and money isnt too much of a worry up to about 2-3 grand and ide like to do as much of the work as possible myself so any advice would be greatly appreciated cheers

#25934 A turbo wil give you the most power for your money by far!

#26050 ok then so more research then. what about in terms of reliability? how much psi can i run safely n how long will it last on standard internals?
how much bhp can i squeeze out of the engine in n/a form also i want it to rev higher but how high will it rev with tuning and a remap/chip?
