I have an 86 N/A, and of course I want a turbo. I've read that turbo engines don't last as long, but they sure are fast. I'm using this car almost daily, and really haven't put any money into it (yet). Should I save up, get rid of it, and get a turbo? Will I end up spending more for a new engine sooner? Or should I just upgrade the N/A? Thanks for your experienced advice.

Seriously, though:clown: . Can the turbos be just as reliable?

damn near, as long as you don't mod the hell out of them, or if you do mod them, you mod them right

I just want a street car with which to put ricers to shame and for general hauling of ***. Anyways, I don't think I'd have the funds to do any major or modding.

Have you ever driven a TII? I'm guessing no, because most people who have wouldn't ask questions like this.
