what exactly are the benefits of turbocharging the N/a motor anyway? I have a N/A S5 motor in my S4 also and i was thinking or goin turbo also. im guessing the benefits would be more power output cause of the higher compression. this thread is definitely helping me. im thinking id rather drop 1500 on a J-Spec Efini 3 motor and save the headache.

As far as J specs, NO one with a 2nd gen has $1000 to gamble. If you want it from a reputable seller, be ready to pay ~$1500 for a used longblock. And then you buy everything that you could've otherwise put on your own block 
Just to have a "reliable" car when you could've put the money into reliability mods (AI, intercooler, engine management etc), use your known-good block, make more power and have better off-boost response.
And of course he doesn't know anything about it now, maybe he wants to see what he's getting into before he spends hours searching and reading? Don't babysit the ignorant people and discourage the competent people and make people feel like their cars are worthless.

And they must have been doing something obviously wrong. Yes those things will be required for a 6PT, and it will yield FAR better results than if it were on an NA engine, with the ability for him to change setups and shift the powerband and characteristics of the engine wherever he wishes.
In the end, people often fail to realize how easy it is to discourage someone when they are well respected members of the community. You can do whatever the hell you want if you educate yourself and show dedication and competence. Let the ignorant people blow their **** up and make examples.
