whats the point of a turbo B18C5? They are built to be a N/A motor. If I were building a turbo car....why would I spend like 4 grand on a motor...then spend another 2500 making it turbo worthy..when I could have a motor that makes way more power for the money?

I completely agree. The C5 engine is a factory built performance NA engine--this means HIGH COMPRESSION.

If people knew how turbos worked, they wouldn't suggest this in the first palce.

B18C5: est 5000 (assuming 500 for labor)
B18A: est 1500 installed (assuming 500 for labor)

okie dokie...now you saved yourself 3500....go put together a nice turbo kit, and wow...you just smoked a B18C5!

Now you just beat him....he goes out and buys a turbo kit....lets say 4 grand...and he can only boost about 5-6 psi saftly.

Now you spend 4 grand on new lower compression and stronger internals and then you turn up your boost guage.

Wow...you just smoked him again!

If you got the beans....a B18C5 would be a nice motor....but for those of us who are more practical and like to go fast for our buck...we will stick to the B18BA and the B20 =)
