Hey guys....i've been debating this topic forever....and i'm still undecisive...granted that a T2 has alot more power and is obviously more responsive and faster....i'm having a trouble deciding wheather to save money and be carless for a while and get a turbo2 or carb. and modify my na....the whole problem is that a t2 runs for about 2500-3000 for a decent one around here and that if your lucky and actually find one....i have 1000 with me....i was thinking of carb. with some coil blasters on my na...or should i buy a 13b from the junkyard and port and rebuild that one.....i'm confused and looking for some help....

Depends if you want the feel of the turbo or not.. I have an n/a and it's cool, but never driven a TII. If I were you I would just keep saving some money and wait until you find a good TII. Good luck. :bigthumg:

RacerX: so your recomending a modified car./efi system with a port and mix and matching the motor itself??





Rx7Machine: i appreciate the advice...only thing that scares me tho is that i've been looking for a t2 for about 3-4 months and still haven't found one....so lets suppose i sell mine and get 2000 (highly unlikely) and add my 1000....then i would be stuck with no ride to work....no work = no money to play with....

I'm all about the highly modded N/As. Cheaper too, especially if you work on it yourself.

It's called boost, a highly addictive and a very costly drug!!!
