Right so, I'll set the scene.
Had the Teggy just over a year now, recently came back from thrashing it around the 'ring. Loved it. Car was faultless!
Shes currently running 232hp had a fair bit of work done on handling and alignment so its cornering ability is my favorite part of the car, however I have an itch. An itch I'm struggling to shake. Boost.
I've only ever owned one boosted car, a Leon Cupra - nothing special really, quick but boat like handling. Numerous videos on IG of Boosted Hondas and being a passenger for a day in a 360hp Evo 8 has gotten the better of me though and I'd like a quicker car.. or a quicker teg.
Unfortunately the sensible side of me knows that 5-6k is a lot to throw at a 14 year old Honda, questions about resell value and blowing the fucker up plague my mind!
Anyway, for the money I'd put into a turbo build, I could p/x and get an Hawkeye STi (2L JDM or RB320) - Which is about the only car that interests me outside of the DC5. Don't ask me why, probably something to do with Sega Rally being a big part of my early years!
Has anyone had any experience with a Turbo'd DC5 and / or a proper scooby. I'm trying to satisfy my need for turbo flutter but I adore the teggy.
I'm just after opinions on the two, no dramas! Which would you have and why? I realise there's a slight bias considering its a teg group but you all seem quite open minded!
Thanks in advance guys an gals
