plenty of fast stock 13BTs
now how much power are you looking for? N/As are about 200fwhp with all the bolts ons.

Now with a TII you'll be able to go much higher than that

Why does everybody always say search? Technically you could say that to everything because I'm sure almost everything has been covered aleast once... I can understand being upset if it is coverd 5 times daily but pages back??? Damn search *****. lol

*puts on flame suit*


That was not directed at you zeromage

I would get a Turbo-II honestly. Dont get me wrong the N/A's are nice,
but theres nothing like a Turbo Rotary, drive one and you will feel the difference.
Its a totaly different beast.

Keep the n/a as a reliable daily driver, that still handles like a dream. Then save up for the TII to satisfy your hunger for power.

reliability first. Radiator, exhaust, then go to the intake.

I dont see how saving up for a new TII is better then just converting an NA to a TII, you wouldn't wanna have to do every other mod all over again. Just save up and collect the necessary parts. Or do what I do and do things in stages with everything required for a turbo being the last... then at least you'll be satisfied with the rest of the car when its over... if its possible to ever be satisfied with your car lol
