Hah.. Every time I got to Autozone to pickup fluids or parts for my Jeep in my FRS I have to hear the absolutely idiotic staff there talking about my FRS and the things that Toyota and Subaru did to it and how it has an STi motor and AWD and that there's going to be a turbo version so I should have wated.....

HATE it

Kid 3 "is your neighbor's turbo or NA?"
Kid 2 "I think it was NA, but it's V8."
Me thinking "when did Supra came w V8."
Kid 1 "oh dude! That's awesome! He need to turbo it an make it anti-lag system! That should make that Supra 700 horse power!"
Kid 3 "What's anti-lag system?"
Kid 1 "it new turbo that boost more power into the engine. My friend has it in his Mustang."

I couldn't handle anymore, so I left

Yep. Just exhaust for me so far since that won't exactly change with an N/A setup, but possibly with a F/I setup. Once I buy Nameless headers...it's N/A or bust.

Until I trade it in for the hi-po BRZ STI that possibly has a terbo. And maybe push-button.

Aside from trying to boost power while keeping with the initial character of the car that's the other reason I want S/C over turbo. I want those damned Nameless headers and their OP/DP combo to go with my Perrin catback.

If you want to keep the stock character of the car, I suggest the Vortech kit. It adds less at the low end and more at the top end, mimicking N/A. I'd just rather have a PD blower if I go for a blower.

At the end of the day it's terb0z or N/A for me...and I'm waiting for more people to blow theirs up so I know which kits and which tuners are better.

I hope if more people blow their engines we don't have stupid ass threads like these...

It's not the OP but just the wealth of info in that topic is really disorganized and confusing. Also some posts are stupid, along with mine.

You can't deny that the sprintex supercharger has THAT SOUND that everyone associates with superchargers. And it's beautiful. I honestly don't plan on going FI anytime soon though so my opinion is moot, as usual :p

On a more random note, two of my friends are going to play for a middle eastern club hockey team. This is what happens when kids take a gap year lol. What's funny is that these club teams are similar to the LA kings and such association wise. My friends probably have a chance on the national team too....weird shit.
