Need Opinions- Boost or 5 Bolt
 

Need some help deciding on what to do with this lump of cash I have buring a hole in my pocket.

I dont know wheather or not to use to buy a turbo kit or a 5 bolt suspension.

I have been wanting a 5 bolt for awhile now, but just recently I found a turbo kit for a really good price.

I'm rocking SI hub caps right now, I dont know if I can deal with them much longer, but when I hear sound bites of turbo cars and see those front mount cooler's I get chills.

What to do????:shrugs:

Ummm. turbo?

If you can get a kit for cheap do it asap man, I've been recently thinking of doing a homemade setup.

Not even a question.

The last thing you are going to care about is those hubcaps when the BOV goes...

:dito: so true!

ABBA ZABBA


err i mean TURBO


5lug next year get a cheap set of 16"s this year then resell them next year

YOU MY ONLY FRIEND!

cough* turbo

Does this need to be asked.
Turbo!!!!!!

Just get some blades for rims and resell them next year.

5 bolt

we dont have an autobahn in canada :p

Turbo is a waste of money.

get the five bolt man.

talk to ppl with turbos' most even regret they wasted that money.

and like loudsubs said. these days u can even drive 10kms over the speed limit.

but its your choice at the end. but dont listen to any joe bloe. Turbo needs some serious money. not only for building it right but maintaining and tuning.

5 bolt is usless though...sure it looks snazzy and u can say that you have an ITR suspension or whatever...geta JRSC kit and be done

useless??


BAHAHAHAHAHA... compared to what??

yeh im sure people ONLY buy 5 bolt for snazz... jeeez. It doens't have anything to do with better braking one bit... yehh :rolleyes:

:dito:
Not to mention the e-brake cable I need, and the front wheel bearing that I also need replaced, along with the rear disc conversion, and the bling bling rims!!!

Whats the point of better breaking when there's nothing to brake for? IMHO this is a stupid question. But then again not everyone is like me...some people prefer all show and no go so whatever.

well if you really want to do something with it ... give it to me so that I can pay off my credit cards... :p

seriously go turbo..

turbo! five bolt is jsut heat. keep everything on the DL and you'll keep your car longer and enjoy the hell out of it

Turbo what, a D block?

A turbo will help your around town driveability lol, long as you run a low spooling turbo, more power on tap how can you compare anything to that?

Then again if your need to replace suspension parts, I guess you should go 5 bolt, or maybe if u just want the rear disc and brakes, maybe find an SiR suspension set? That'd work well too wouldnt it? And its not a high thievable item like ITR suspension. Or be uber and buy the CTR 4X114.3 suspension lol

i say go for suspension and brakes first, theres no sense in having a fast car that cant stop or handle.

ya but u dont need a ****in 5 bolt conversion for better braking

silly rabbit... you need BOTH!

you need big brakes to go with big power, so I'd do brakes first.

Of course you dont need it, but then again I dont need turbo either.......

The reasoning behind the 5 bolt is because a) My rear drums are shot b) provides e-brake cable which I am missing c) Wheel bearing replacement which I need d) One of the best OEM setups e) I get rims (which are my favorite out of any rim, OEM or aftermarket



Normally I would do braking first but this turbo kit I found is perfect for me and pretty affordable

If you like turbo, then go for it. If you can't do both at the same time, well you gotta pick one. It can't be that confusing eh? lol

My route is Suspension --> Rim ---> Breaks upgrade (most likely 4 bolts) ---> then engine upgrade. One item per year.

I put rims over break because if I get break first, they won't clear 14" steelies. I get lighter rims which will also help breaking somewhat.

I am pretty happy with the way my car is heading, nothing too crazy, just plain and simple.

the day u drop ur 5blot on is the day u dont see your car outside, the day u get boost is the day ur gonna be reborn,....

:dito: That'z a good way of lookin at it

haha some of these points made are beyond .....

so if i get a 5 bolt my car will automatically be stollenn... yehhh unmmm ok..

if it was an ITR id be a little more worried, but if your car is not super attractive to the thieves eye you should be fine...

Suspension and braking before horsepower.

u need big brakes to go with big power but just because he gets a turbo that doesnt mean he has to start driving 200km/hr...why not just do a rear disc conversion and get bigger rotors

I would liek to thank eveyrone for there thoughts, I have decided on turbo right now, because mainly the deal I can get at this time.

Brakes will comes next year :cheers:

psssssssssssttttt!!!!!!


can't wait to see it.... er, hear it!!!:D

What kind of engine management does this turbo kit come with and whats included in this kit?

NICE! I can guarantee you won't regret that purchase.

Unless u install it wrong and blow up your motor by overboosting lol.

boost fo'sure!!

5bolt aint that much bigger than a GSR setup, + a lot less heat, and less money wasted...second, well theifs dont look at the car, they look at what u have,....and 5bolt is the first sign.....so i say...just boost man, + my bro had 5bolt and it aint make much of a diffrence than a gs-r setup...

well if you are planning on doing the Turbo RIGHT the first time they arn't even close in pricing.

$2000 Give or Take a few hundred for 5 bolt

$4000-6000 Turbo DONE RIGHT.

This might help a Bit.

LATES RICH

Yeah thats what im saying. This turbo kit is very inexpensive. Whats the condition of the turbo, piping, intercooler...etc?If u want this to run right and not blowup on u your gonna need atleast another $2000 for a good engine managment system & tunning, this kit sounds like its gonna come with an fmu.

Trust me, it may sound awesome to have a blowoff valve and front mount intercooler, but i bet u your not gonna appreicate much when your pistons rings are gone or your clyinder wall is cracked or who knows what else could go wrong, then your gonna have to spend a ton more money on a rebuild.

Your prolly right, but I never mentioned how much the turbo kit was or exactly what it came with, so I dont know how you guys are able to draw these conclusions.

I know what I'm doing, and I have very knowledgable people helping me with install/tunning etc.... so I'll be fine you dont have to be worried about me :cheers:

oh im worried about you... trust me i worry about you all the time

:fight:

ls trubo :yummy: then gsr brakes :wink:
