Ok. I will cut you some slack. This is your 2nd post.....

You can run boost on stock internals. Your fuel system needs to be upgraded to do so. The stock injectors handle 3-4 PSI then they are maxed. Next to no one on here as built internals....so stock bottom end if properly tuned can go to about 11 PSI. Most run 8 PSI or so daily. A turbo car can be just as reliable as an N/A car if tuned and proper maintence is performed.

Search around. WEALTH OF INFO on here.........Welcome aboard. PM me if you need a TURBO KIT or anything. We are a well established vendor on here.

I have an 01 with 95000 miles. Its been turbod for a few thousand. It drives very nicely, and I boost anywhere up to 10psi daily. Depending on whats going on, ya know. I am usually at 0-5psi daily, I dont need much more. 0psi is a nice gain over stock anyways, lol. I dont know how long it will last, but I think it could last a long time. There are lots of headaches so far, but once I get everything running reliably, and somewhat built motor to handle 10-12 daily w/o methanol. maybe 15w/methanol.
