What was it originally? N/A- I'd go with N/A. TII- I'd go with TII. It also depends on your budget. TII's are more expensive, but ultimately more powerful.

NA!!! I know many might say turbo but I love my NA so much. The S5 NA is better in my opinion. I had a S4 NA and it wasn't as fun. Goodluck and post some pics. I too I'm getting a shell very soon to build up. I'm gonna post a thread too.

how can you say an N/A S5 is better than a turbo when all you have to com,pare to is an S4 Na. I say go turbo, more power more fun, and so long as you're not mean to the engine, the reliability is close to N/A. You mught want to give more detail on the frame. Like year and model.

Yes but I drive my car to school, work, the city, long 8 hr drives to So-Cal, and beat the hell out of it almost a few days a week. The motor is in tip top shape and I keep it that way. That's why I love NA. Plus there is no better response then an NA car. oh an I use 87 octane as well.

Snowball the motor you described is my dream motor. Eventually when I have a butt load of money I'll get one.

I spent about 4k on my na engine with new rotor housings and other stuff that was needed. I did the s5 intake swap and a few other mods like pineapple inserts. I like more hp but I also hope to drive it for a long time.

Modify it.

So many people not knowing what they're doing is the reason that TII's get wrecked and fucked up. Then it's hackjobbed in a vain attempt to revive it.

It depends on how much money the poster has. If he has alot, go turbo. If not stay NA.
