Thats the whole problem with it...

To me, you spend $5000 on a turbo kit, not including installation/dyno time, then tune it and possibly get a TecII...you're looking at a TON of cash. And for what? To beat your buddies Mom's stock WRX wagon? That doesnt fly with me.

You drop $5k into a $3k 1G DSM....AWD 11sec stoplight monster! Even with the original comparison with a GSR...if you want to eventually turbo either car, the GSR hands down is the way to go, both cost-effectively and performance wise. And if you want to stay NA, there's not even room for discussion

To me, turbo'ing an RS just isnt even in reality. It costs too much money, and for what you get, its not even worth it.
