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????

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.

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!!!

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
