truly the only reason I considered buying the turbo was because it will be much cheaper and easier to take the turbo off instead of getting all the stuff I need to make the xr6 turbo. obviously either way I go its going to be a fair bit of work and a fair bit of money.

No it won't bud.

You can't imagine how much it would actually cost and what a headache for you to go this way.

You'd end up with a low comp (gutless) N/A for starters....and what are you going to do with the manifolds, intercooler, ECU, exhaust, all your plumbing, etc etc??

I had this same question (answered on another forum before I found this one) and looking back it was the right decision to wait till I'm off my P's. Getting an N/A now and adding the turbo or swapping the car for a turbo car is going to cost you money over the long run. You will come out better if you just wait the 2-3 years and drive whatever you have around (I 'inherited' an EB when the rents upgraded). I have about 7 months left on my green's and then I'll be looking at getting a T.

I think you'll find that most cops these days are pretty cluey and can spot an IC a mile away and know that it's usually attached to a hairdryer under your bonnet

Get a 1998 Expensive Daewoo VT SS.....oh wait f*ck, you cant on P's, but you can get a 2003 N/A XR6 which has more power and drive that instead! Yay backward laws!

Really though, do the right thing and just get something cheap as sh*t or legal.
