what do you all think will be a better idea to get? Turbo or nitrous?

 

If money upfront isn't a problem, go with a turbo. Nitrous will end up cosing more in the long run with the constant bottle refills.

Turbo all the way. For $1500 you can get a really good setup with a tune, and be on your way for good. Having to spend the money to buy and install the NO2 kit, plus ALLLLLL those refills, will make a turbo much cheaper in the long run.

No. 1500 WITHOUT a tune. A good tune will run about 5-700$

 

If youre willing to wait and shop around a lot for used parts, you could get a turbo kit for $1K. There might not be an intercooler, but it wouldnt always be a terrible set up. I was just giving a best case scenario.

 

A turbo without an intercooler is prolly the stupidest thing you can do to a Daily Driver. I have a HUGE GReddy front mount, and my car is still running a little hot.



I wouldnt boost without an intercooler, but hey if u like blowing headgaskets then thats your dig.

 

Hmm, I was under the impression that in low boost situations that an intercooler wasnt always nessecary, guess I was wrong.

 

well u CAN get away without it, but your really hurting your motor. Exhaust gas is HOT even when its intercooled.
