dont idolize me, hell dont even be like me. its not fun once it all catches up with you. I never charged anytyhing, never even had a credit card, and still dont, but now all i do is think about the nice house or something else I could be owning right now instead of a weekender FD and a t2 that is still sitting in the garage.



honestly I've been considering selling off both for a while lol.



Anywho, you're gonna need a turbo for 300-350hp, n/a only gets to 300hp with ridiculous **** that somewhat ends its streetability.



as for a t2, getting it to 300-ish hp isnt too tough, and at 300-350hp the car is quite a sleeper. I loved my t2 when it was still in that power range. once you have a 500hp car you realize its more fun to have less power, most of the time.



kevin.



yeah i dont wanna push that much pwoer. not unless i have a house of my own and money to buy 3 of them ahhaa.



but for now i wanna get a t2 motor and drop it into the n/a. upgrade the turbo(gt2871r or the 76r) get safc, intercooler, bigger injectors, etc. hopefully i can get good numbers.



greddy makes a turbo kit for the fc, is it worth the money for the kit?
