Btw, going forced induction without supporting mods is a stupid idea and will cost you big $ in the long run. You're at the very least going to need an exhaust that matches better with a turbo setup and an upgraded clutch. Also, cooling is always an issue so supporting oil and transmission coolers are a must.
I agree with you on that. I thought people were poo-pooing the idea of 450 RWHP on ANY street-driven car, and that's just not true. You can have a lot of fun with more than 500 RWHP and drive it on the street with no problem.
