I've fallen into the hole........

I have to admit, guys, i want to turbocharge....... i have a 91 n/a, and want to do the turbo upgrade, but dont want to have to worry about my car NOT WORKING all the time. so basically, can i, should i, or am i just dumb for jumping on the bandwagon???

I've been thinking about turboing my car...but it's not gonna be a while 'till I do a conversion

but then again I've just been contemplating of getting a TII instead. Either way I hope it works out in the end...

Turbo RX-7's are great, and NA RX-7's are great. If you got the money (which I assume you do because turboing an NA is expensive), I would just bargain hunt for a TII and keep your NA. That way you can have your rotary cake and eat it too. I love my TII, but I really wish I still had my NA for a daily driver.

^ what he said....i dont think there is such thing as a "reliable" n/a to turbo conversion...that is if you keep all the stock internalls, but if your going to go to all that trouble just find a TII

come to the dark side...muahahahahahaha.....but yeah..i think the easier way to go(on the pocket and time) would just get a T2 instead of doing the whole conversion

Its not that expensive, about 1g US if you want to do it, maybe 500us if you want to do it with bare minimum.
