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?

Bypass Valve
EDIT: to further explain A BPV is a modern day BOV (blow-off valve). Instead of sending air out the BOV when the throttle body is closed (like shifting) the BPV will recirculate the air back into the pipe after the MAF. The MAF already accounted for the air that went through the first time, so if you have a BOV and lose alot of air through it.. you have the chance of running rich. A BPV is completely silent whereas the BOV gush of air that you hear "the turbo make" after you shift. This post has been edited by turboinduction: Jul 22, 2004 - 1:29 PM |
