S4 n/a or s4.5 turbo?

Im interested in either porting my s4... It's 26 never been rebuild from my knowledge, now either i can rebuild port it this winter, or I can say F*** it and get some turbo parts and just say hey why the hell not and slap it on and run it at low boost and dyno it next spring and see what happens, what are your thoughts between, porting a n/a or trying to turbo it.

I suggest looking up "project Tina" Turbo the N/A is not as easy as you presently are making it sound.

If you have the parts and some ching to kill time over winter, I would say give it a whirl! I immediately started seeing the cost difference in just swapping in a full Tii drive train, and went that route myself.

I don't have the parts, but they shouldn't cost to much, alot cheaper then a s4 turbo motor and tranny.

Just port the standard engine, turbo one will never sound as nice as ported N/A motor plus you get the benefit of learning how to pull them appart so when the time comes do the turbo conversion!! But up to you!!
