What's the most reliable turbo for DD
 

Ok wassup guys, I've been thinking about putting a turbo in my 2013 Frs but I'm just not sure if I want to yet because this is a daily driven car. If I decide to go with it I want to know what turbo kit I can rely on. Yes I have also factored in all the supporting mods, cost of labor, etc. I've also read a lot of stuff on the SC being a lot more reliable but I just don't really see my self leaning that way. Thanks for the help!

Reliable and turboing a car don't really go hand in hand

Why do you want a turbo for daily driving? Do you need to make it to the next stop light 4 seconds faster, instead of only 1 second faster by flooring it? Or do you want to make all the bitches sopping wet when they hear your car go "Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaah pew pew psh bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah pew pew psh"?

Do you go to the track? If so, are your lap times being hindered because you've mastered the handling on the car and you just can't go fast enough?

All of them are if you have money ;)

Why don't you really see yourself leaning toward supercharging? :iono:

What is the purpose of a reply like this?
This in no way shape or form helps anyone.
What if says yes to one of your reasons he may want to? Would you actually provide any useful information?
Sucks for new people to come here and get treated like idiots. You were new at one point too. </rant>

Of course I'd be as helpful as I could be. Though, with a question that's basically "wats da best turbz for a dally driva?" It doesn't give much details to go on, and how can I possibly help if I don't know someone's goals?

Like if I asked "what car should I get to drive every day?" Someone would say a Miata, someone would say a civic and someone would say an exotic hypercar. No budget was listed, no driving style was even hinted at. I was new at one point, and I made a stupid thread that had been made multiple times before. Someone let me know that and told me I should search. Since then, I read everything I possibly can when I have a question I need answered. 9.9 times out of 10, I get my answer from reading existing threads and don't need to make a thread asking.

But hey, I get that critical thinking and problem solving isn't a very common skill anymore. Kind of like common sense being a very rare commodity now.

Turbo=low end torque. That's what people love. Low end torque=/=reliability. Snapped rods are in your future with a stock bottom end. Unless you want to run low boost. But even then a PD Blower will be more reliable and give you what you want.

There are stupid questions.

When a kid wants M&M's for dinner some parents give him the M&M's, upset stomach kid never wants M&M's again. Some parents tell the kid it's being dumb and no so they don't have to deal with the kid with the upset stomach.

Blown engines hurt more than a tummy ache.

The real trick is to figure out cake for breakfast ;)

Sorry everyone else, but I second this notion 100%. NA stock daily not only does not need a turbo, but there is no option for "reliable daily" when specifically compared to stock form.

... no

Eat it with milk. Problem solved. Also, have Black Forest cake for breakfast since there are cherries (fruit) so you can really justify it as a fruit salad

Oh, fucking hell.

I advise you to just listen to Cole the Troll.

The fact that you responded within 4 minutes and Guff liked it, means someone didnt read the rules about how to use a search function ;)
