Depends on the amount of mods. Stock versus stock, the upkeep isnt much different.

In 7-1/2 years of owning a Turbo and 2-1/2 years of owing a Vert... about the same. Just gas and oil for the most part. Brake pads once in a while, change belts and plugs as needed. I do go through tires a little faster on the Turbo.

Yea basically just stock vs stock. So I shouldn't have a much of a difference in upkeep if I were to buy a TII and only slightly mod it compared to an N/A?

P.S. Ty guys I was getting really worried that due to my income I may have to settle for an N/A.

The trick to either car (all things equal) is to do the reliability mods and a 60k tuneup when you get it and then keep up with the oil changes and other upkeep.

On a Turbo.. things like an FCD and gauges that work to start with. Rewire or put in a better fuel pump.
