if puss equals spending a ton of money on blown engine...then call me what u will.....i call it intelligence. And also....whats ur definition of "preping your car for turbo".....I didnt really want to build the bottom end but to get the full effect of a turbo...lowering compression so u can fit more air. Im just lookin for info here....and a crew to share good and bad experiences...so I might not screw something up. There is nothing wrong with caution ragerized!
been there done that

im just saying i know guys who run boost on ls engines with stock internals with no probs at all. you just can get all boost happy. what i meant by prepping your car for turbo is like buying turbo exhaust, fuel pump, fmu, and building the engine...pistons, cams, rods, sleaving the block, etc...
im not saying dont use caution, but dont be paranoid.
