I've driven a few factory turbo cars, audi, GSX and the boost felt nice. but the cars were so heavy and luxurious that i dont think i got the "Full" boost experience. i was browsing in this section and makes me want boost. I already have probs w my NA motor but i wanted to ask wats it like? how dependable is it for DD? and im talkin about a mild turbo, mild setup. just wondering wat it was like on the other side of the hill. Thanks.

so basically, your asking what it would be like if you took a stock and healthy honda motor and added a mild turbo setup?


with a good tune and doing things the correct way it should be reliable for a DD no problem ...

that and like wats the experience like? you know the saying,"boost and you'll never go back." thats wat i wanna know about. the debate between NA vs turbo and the turbo guys are 100% sure on boost.

It's amazing. Hard to describe the feeling when the turbo spools. The car just picks up and goes.

I miss it. I can't wait to get the new setup finished so i can drive this damn thing again :mrgreen:

I'm in love with feeling of a spooling turbo. At first you feel calm and in control, then you hear the whistle of the turbo and feel yourself gradually being pressed into your seat as a couple pounds get built. After that all hell breaks loose. Your RPM's shoot up and kiss the rev limiter a couple times as your tires squeal trying to hold onto the asphalt. Then you grab another gear and feel the full effect of boost when your tires aren't struggling for traction.

I love it.

Boost is definitely a lot of fun and can be reliable with a healthy motor and reliable tune. I DD my turbo Civic every day of the week!

Its beyond words if your making serious power. Almost done with mine and I'm running almost the exact same setup as my tuner. Rode in his and that's what made me decide to go boost. You feel the turbo starting to build pressure and then next thing you know your being pushed into the seat so hard you can barley sit up. Best feeling in the world when it comes to cars IMO. Plus you can still put around town without building boost making it easy to drive on surface streets.
