I've been thinking about a 3s swap or a rebuild with a turbo. Im wondering wether having a turbo is good for a daily driver? Do those of you with turbos have otehr cars or use yours for a DD? What are the pros and cons you have found for using a turbo as DD?

Turbos work fine for daily drivers as long as you don't stick too large of a turbo (with too high of a spool up time) on there.
The only thing you have to worry about is extra maintence. Actually, for highway/freeway drivin to and from work a turbo is ideal- your gas milage goes through the roof because you're never spooling, and have a ton more hp than before. |
