If the car is indended for track days and Autox then why boost it at all???? The price you will spend on your turbo set up and tuning will pay for a 3-4 track events. It is best to have experiance on the track before you go throwing power at the car. If not you are going to get pissed off as little low powered NA cars @100hp fill you rear view mirror. As for autox unless you plan on cutting the shit out of your fenders so you can squeeze the widest hoosier or Kumho under the car (add $2000 for wheels and tires) you will just be spinning your wheels, again being slower that lower powered cars.

Boost for a novice track driver :thumbsdown:
Boost for a FWD car with street tires or front R-compounds less that 275's :thumbsdown:

agreed. Boost isn't going to be great for a novice driver. You're just going to end up spinning tires and torque steering.
