Misterr Turtle New Member 2 Member For: 8y 2m 18d Posted 18/02/17 01:01 AM Share Posted 18/02/17 01:01 AM Looking to buy a BF mk2 XR6 but I'm unsure on what to do, should I buy a non Turbo? Then save and turbo it? Or just buy an XR6 Turbo? What's the differences? And can you get the same power figures out of a N/A, then Turbo'd as the turbo car?

It's an even worse idea to specifically buy an N/A car with plans to turbocharge it. Just buy a turbo car to start with 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92937-need-help/#findComment-1632156 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The laws themselves must exist for a reason, but I'm not 100% sure they're based on real-world data that specifically shows that powerful vehicles are detrimental. In hindsight of my younger more reckless self, I'd prefer a car with powerful brakes and stability control, no mater the actual power level, as it's how you recover from a dangerous situation that makes you a better driver, rather than how you got into it in the first place, imho. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92937-need-help/#findComment-1632172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
