heres the issue.

TURBO IS NOT BOLT ON AND HOLD ON.

it's a proccess, it's an involved thing. So many things can affect power and someone who is really interested in making power pays attention to detail and they are rewarded. (see omar's 300whp lancer, rabbits 250 hp rrm turboed AUTO)

Plus speed and power are all so subjective so how can anyones opinion be right?

Ummmm.... I've been hearing a lot of guys talking about WRXs....But I haven't heard of a single guy talking about how when you hit 300whp, your 2nd gear will explode inside of your tranny...
Or how it's rediculously expensive to mod...Or since the engine is transverse that changing any part requires a degree.

You want my opinion?
Lancer > WRX.

With regards to hondas... yah they're cheaper to mod... But the lancer is the 2nd cheapest out of all the imports. Try modding a BMW, then you can ***** about being poor.

Its a SOHC VTEC. No swap yet. Im thinking of just boosting on the stock bottom end until the crank or rods go.
