For some reason, I thought you only wanted a turbo car is it was a stock turbo engine.

It's because I scared you with a stock LS1.

No shit...500hp may be impressive for a 4 banger, but to try to compare it with a LS1? You're high.

No, but you DO need one to make naturally aspirated torque.

And before you say anything. I'm a car enthusiast. I have respect for anything that deserves it, but you can't compare you dumping money into a tc to make 500HP and then comparing that shit to a stock LS1 or a stock SRT-4.

It's funny because both of those cars you mentioned (LS1 and SRT-4) can be made fast for cheaper than a tc. WAY cheaper.

of course- we all know that domestic vs. import 4 banger- the domestic big boy will always be able to make more power cheaper...I don't think anyone would argue with that...but for some people, including myself, there's something about a challenge that I like- I mean honestly why else would we turbo puny little 1.8 engines lol?? I know that after getting the Tc, I was so happy b/c it didn't need any work- but now I'm like damn this shit is boring I want something to tinker on.... bah I'm definitely asking for it lol

but you know i got nothing but love for ya buddy

okay then take out four plugs or cut the displacement of your motor by more than half and see what you make i am not downing ls-1s or the srt-4 in any way but for a 15k car w/5k in mods to make that power is or should be inpressive in any CAR enthusiest eyes just my.02
