depends on your power limit you set for yourself.You can always run some GSL-SE rotors and feed it a 120hp shot of NOS and hope the tranny doesn't blow up.

You can build a NA for around 275RWHP Theres a thread on the subject in the engine building forum.Why did you sell it then if you want to turbo your car?

Turbo all the way. So much more horsepower compared to an N/A motor and still maintain drivability. And nothing beats that sexy whistle.

i sold it because i have a s5 car, and it was a s4 engine. to convert it to a s5 engine was going to rip a whole in my jeans. so i rather take my N/A engine. rebuild it with performance internals and port it. and save my money and go turbo >;x.





i wanted to know another question. if i rebuild my N/A w/ 3mm apex seals and all that good stuff. with such high compression and a Medium Port. not street, not bridge in between. am I risking my engine with going turbo.

yup.High compression on a turbo is bad news.Plus your engine is a 6 port which means you'll need a adapter to bolt up a turbo manifold.Just better find a S5 T2 setup to drop in now.You'll never get your money out of the NA back when you go to sell it.
