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?

The 3s is perfectly fine for a DD...the turbos are small, and if you get an OEM BPV from a st205 or SW20, it will direct most of the air around the turbo during "off boost," which will ensure the prolonged life of the turbo and the engine.

BPV doesnt vent around the turbo. the internal flapper wastegate does that.
