As long as it doesn't leak castor bean oil and you don't have to deal with customer service for any reason, it should be fun. Not what I would choose because on 4 cylinders turbo > supercharger, but it will give you a nice kick in the pants.

They're fun. As long as you realize your not going to get over 200HP, and are okay with that. I wish I would of bought one sooner. For $1500, I have gsr power that is more useable in daily driving. If my motor ever dies, I'll sell the JRSC, and use the $$$ towards a swap. I just couldn't throw out the D when it was still running like a champ.

Read up and do some research,instead of asking such a vague, open ended non specific question.

It is all going to depend how far you are willing to go,how deep your pockets are and your goals!.

what is itt? 3.33 y 2,93. Am I close, im guessing. so it is 50@2.93? is an increase of 146. to 14'something like 1500+146=a646 a 1.7 l . lebaron being the 2, ooooos. i think it will be close enough to roll the dice.

Turbo D > Swap, power-wise of course. Nothing else...
