Force Induction or Natural Aspirated(N/A)?
Hello everyone!

I just want everyone's opinion regarding having a Force Induction (Turbo or Supercharger) or a Natural Aspirated (N/A) car? and why you chose that path?

Yes, that is correct. It would make more sense. Just recently understood the concept of N/A and Force Induction and got curious if anyone started or had gone N/A then subsequently just turbo boosted their car.

no problem. Im getting lazy myself. Been thinking about turbocharging my RSX Type S but i keep wimpin out 1st cuz i don't have enough money and all this maintenance (4wheel alignment, inspection, worn tires, and being my only car now) and 2nd i keep getting scared that i might mess up my engine and have to pay dearly for it. SUCKS!

but anyways, i'm still impressed.

thanks, its a fun car to drive, my friends tease the shit out of me for the front bumper, but all the teasing stops when they are overheating and I am staying at 160f at the track, it really scoops the air and keps the car running cold. I am running 12-13 pounds of boost wich pust me at just under 250hp and with the weight of the car being at about 2280 lbs, its pretty quick.
