full bridge or half bridge
I'm looking at a T2 for a decent price with a full bridge port motor in it. just needs a few tid bits like a good EMS to get it running.
My question is:
Would this motor be okay for daily driving or would it be wise to build another motor with a half bridge port and have the FBP for a spare?
I would really like to make the FBP daily driver friendly so i will not have to spend too much money.
Suggestions and experiences anyone?

Yeah, Dont let anyone tell you their "opinion", as most of these guys haven't driven a FULL BP turbo. FYI, my car starts up immediately every morning. BUT...sometimes bp isnt for everyone. not everything is for everyone.

Some argue that a half-bridge is protected by the secondary throttle plates, but really, in the end, you are going to need a new intake to take advantage of the BP anyway. So in that respect a half bridge is going to have the same idle low throttle issues that a full bridge will. So why not just go ***** out and do it all the first time around instead of getting used to the power output then wanting more?
