Like anything aftermarket, it's never a perfect product. I'd say the only turbo kits that are flawless are ones made for Hondas since there's so many of them out there.

I would bet there are more 3.6/3.8 swaps than TPC turbos out there and there's a reason why.

And turbo cars don't sound as good as NA in general and that's a fact.

You're right on the Honda turbo kit . I have a friend who installed one on his S2000, and its performed flawlessly so far. One of the very few, almost bulletproof applications out there .

Now, now, let's not forget the many solid kits out there for Audi and VW!!

A baby Boxster with the VAG 2.0T would have lots of potential for tuning and reliable power upgrades.

Is a VAG 2.0T something that rides next to you in the passenger seat, cause otherwise I'm not sure that I want one

I wish! Then you would have somewhere to put your drink.
