What would be more beneficial for the ST buying the turbo kits they sell for the corollas and do minor custom work for fitment or hooking up a 75 wet shot of nitrous. If the internals where upgraded slightly basically the stronger rods they sell for the st because I dont think there are any pistons unless you go custom and a p&p and some other things to make the motor able to take the stress.

What's the compression on 7a's? I'm a big fan of nitrous. IM me sometime and I can tell ya more. But I know you can get away with about 75 shot on 5S.

As far as which is better, it's all opinion. Some like turbo for all the time power. I like nitrous, cuz it only stresses my internals more when I want em too. It's also easy to hide and folks would never know.

When I did my nitrous I was being really cautious and buying the stuff I didn't have to have, but playing it more safe. And I was still saving about 800-1000 more then the turbo guys

yeah it's just a matter of opinion. I like having power everywhere, not just when i push a button. And you shouldn't hit it in every gear like a turbo tongue.gif

you save that money now, but the turbo guys make up for it eventually. In the end you, no offense, still have basically a slow car. Sure it can go fast every once and a while, but that's some major wear and tear on ur motor unless it's built for that.
