I can't take turbo envy any longer. I've had fun with my NA and it taught me a lot, but for the work involved, I could have done a turbo conversion by now. I've seen a couple respected NA builders express similar thoughts. Torque is good. I need more torque! And that cool spooling sound . .



I'm sick of seeing all these ugly WRXs around here spouting their BOVs. Such plain looking cars and they have something my FC needs.

I find it really amusing how people draw this imaginary line between boosted cars and naturally aspirated cars.



it's just another power adder, if you need more go for it, whats the big deal?

The big deal is I'm working with only 2.6 litres of air / fuel displaced per two eshaft revolutions, not 5.7. I can only do so much with half the air / fuel capacity of an LS-1 my man, and I'm not ready to give up on the perfectly good rotary in the car right now. The coolness and rarity factor for the car goes up with boost, because Turbo FCs are not common. I see more third gens than turbo IIs or converted NA FCs.

Saving money for my next project is the only thing keeping me from boosting this motor. The block is prepped for a turbo, its just a few bolts away too...

If you want to turbocharge your car then do it. Stop coming here and whining about it. I'm sick and tired of this kind of crap.
