i know.. the only reason why i started this is because.. well i bought the car for 13000 put 2000 in and got in accident fixing for 7500.. so calculating.. it's about over 26000 for the car total if i go turbo.. and you've guessed it! price of an evo rs.. but my parents actually helped pay for the fixing cause they said it was worth it..

I think it also depends greatly on the type of ECU that you have and how much control you have over that ecu.... I drive my car all day everyday doing as many as 700klm per week just for work and the fuel consumption is possibly better than when I was stock...

Staying off max boost is a hard thing to do as it is very addictive listening to that turbo spooling up and the BOV venting... but when cruising it is quiet easy again due to how the car is setup... life is too short to leave it wondering if you should or shouldn't

im not having a go at you christine, but i just find it funny that people say life is too short because its the longest thing you will ever do tho ...

yeah im still umming and arring about my setup, im like about 80% save and get a 2008 model ralliart, or 20% turbo mine ... coz i gotta 'pull my finger out' coz i failed 3 out of 8 subjects this year at uni, so i dont really want to have the extra distractions next year among all the other things ... :S plus im broke, lol, just been christmas shopping ...
