Talking S4t project

Hey everyone.

I'm about to start a S4 turbo project but a little stuck where to start.

Should i get a s4 non turbo then install a new turbo/intercooler/etc or buy a s4 turbo and upgrade all the usuals?

It's not going to be anything fancy for awhile, I'm just thinking from a money point of view.
If im going to be putting a new turbo on anyway, why get one with a stock turbo?

Any suggestions welcome!

thanks besok.

you should get a motor that came with a turbo in it,this is due to it having lower compression ratio and youll be able to get more reliable boost out of it.
There are other things,but this is the main reason you should go turbo motor instead of non turbo

and the entire drivetrain is different. Much stronger. From tranny back to half shafts etc, also all turbos come w/ better brakes and suspension (although some N/As had them)
If you want turbo, get a Turbo II. Not worth the upgrading and whatnot.
They're not that expensive.
good luck!
