Well the only pro I know of for turbos is power. There are plenty of cons. If you just are looking for speed turbo is the way to go. If you want reliability then an NA is better. If you strictly want reliability you get a toyota corolla or honda civic or something like that. More power, get a turbo. If you are talking about turboing your NA I have a site at home where someone offered complete kits for this. If you want I will post it.

It would probably be easier/cheaper/faster to do/more potential if you were to sell your n/a, and just buy a t2 to start with.. I know, everyone hates that advice. I prolly won't follow that advice myself. But, it's probably true.

Ya it is probably true. I thought of doing it except one thing: my car is my daily driver and for the price of a TII that could be driven daily I could half pay off a new car. Whenever I find a real cheap TII beater I will get it a fix it up. But people want $3,000-10,000 for a decent TII.
