What do you want out of your car? Do you want to go 1.5 secs faster in the 1/4 mile? Do you want 200K miles of reliable service? Do you want good gas mileage?

I stand by my statement.

but lets not get into the turbo D debate, cause it will just **** up this guys thread.



so here goes

if you are lookin for a maybe small turboed relatievely fast car then yes your motor is fine

if you are lookin for all motor, or a nice high hp setup then I would def. lean more towards a B series swap.
