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?

Turbo guys can have them as DD if they'd like. I drove around turbo'd DSMS for 3 years before my Celica. But, Turbos are not good daily drivers. They CAN be used for them, but moreorless... turbos are meant for play. No one expects the Evo VIII to be a grocery getter, nor was the GT-4, GSX, Supra, Skyline, and numerous others. These are sports cars. I'm saying that these cars shouldn't be used as a DD if others are an option. And yes diesels are turbos with BOVs.
