I’m not very auto savvy

If you are after the safest F.I setup, go with a centrifugal S/C like jackson racing's kit. The way they build boost with RPM is less stressful on the bottom end, the rods specifically which are known to snap when you up the torque.

Turbo kits and twin screw setups will make a lot more torque down low which will put more strain on those components. The trade off is that they feel faster through the entire rev range, as apposed to centrifugal blowers retaining the factory powerband, just more of it.

This should be included on any and all performance parts instructions!

my bad then had no idea the remaining markets that didn't get the power bump also received some updated internals.

Yep. They got every single upgrade on the car except the intake, exhaust and final. The engines look like the old ones since they still have all the old externals but everything else is changed. There was a lot more changed than people seem to think through the whole car.

I've seen worse mid life crisis upgrades that only revolve around exterior and interior changes.

The 17+ upgrades were at least focused on some of the known issues.

Not everything is about power.

If you want more power you could always spend a bit more money, or, not shop in the basement for the cheapest RWD sports car on the planet and complain about powaaaahhhhs.

Opps, sometimes I'm just like my 86, slow.......but I can change direction really well..

STOP JUDGING ME.........

In other news I'm getting a alarm (all the bells and whistles) installed so the car beeps when I lock it.

$500 for beeping noises, sometimes I think I've taken way to many hits to the head.
