Ok, so I have a problem. I've been introduced to the world of turbocharging and I love it.

I just drove my friends 3000GT VR-4 with Twin Turbos, AWD, active aero, etc. on the 4th of July at a little party we had. He has a 3" downpipe, exhaust, intake, and a boost gauge on the A-pillar. I can't even begin to explain how much I enjoyed all that power....listening to the turbos spool up above 3k RPM's was so beautuful, and it thrusted foward with exactly the power I've always dreamed of in a car. Just beautuful, smooth, heart-pounding acceleration with no complants or hesitation. smile.gif

So this is where I confess- I need to have boost and I need it now because I'm addicted. Unfortunately, I've decided that I dont have an interest in turboing my Celica, because I want something that comes factory with turbo for reliability and the ability to get it fixed by a shop, and resale value sake.

So can anybody else relate to my situation? Also tell me what turboed cars you have driven and like most, because I think I'm going to be doing some research to find what will satiate my hunger for boost. wink.gif

Glad to see you guys understand my addiction so well. biggrin.gif
I'm currently fighting this addiction with lots of imitated "hissing" and "whooshing" while driving at full throttle. But I have to admit, its just not the same. wink.gif


Andy B- I wish I could get a 6th gen. GT-4 in the US...that would be my perfect "drug" right now...Maybe one day. frown.gif

EDIT- changed "car" to "drug"...lol
