I don't see how you couldn't have heard about traction problems. The FWD setup has the worst traction of any drive setup, and the addition of torque only amplifies it. Google the effects of weight transfer, that should shed some light.
you're talking to 2 people who actually drive boosted cars

Dude, what are you talking about?Are you really suggesting thathe shouldn't boost because he is gonna have traction problems? And that staying NA will alleviate this problem?Damn, I better go rip my turbo out before I spin the wheels.

That's it, I'm selling ALL of my turbo gear..

The traction problems aren't really a big deal once you learn how to deal with it.

i say boost it, get a compression/leakdown test and then you should be good. And dont worry about traction problems, trust Forty and Sniper, they know whats up.
