if those are your reasons then you are not ready for a swap or a custom turbo. think about it this way. with a turbo, you are adding something to the engine that it never designed to handle. the is a huge risk of engine failure due to something you did wrong or something that went wrong outside of your control. so in the end you may end up in a situation where: youll have to spend a ton of money trying to fix things as they break. blow up your engine and be without your car for months. end up having to do a swap, even if its for another 5sfe. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
