I agree but if I wanted a little more power I would just do something noninvasive like an exhaust and cai. |

I respect the engineering and science of turbocharging. However, for engine longevity and lower cost of ownership, I favor a naturally-aspirated engine. From an aesthetic standpoint there is a certain purity to an engine that gets its power simply from good design and high compression. Some car companies, not all, use turbos as a way of getting extra power from mediocre engines.

I'll just do them myself. I did that in my TC with all "TRD" branded stuff. CAI, exhaust, springs, short shifter. They actually ended up coming out with a very similar model later (The RS5.0 I think), but mine was still unique and I loved the pride of putting things in myself, even if pretty much everything were simple bolt ons.

I thought Toyota and Subaru already "explored" this. Toyota's doing a supercharger and Subaru said no.

More air = more fuel, means worse MPG. I loved the sound of a screaming turbo and the progressive acceleration curve, but having driven a simple intake/exhaust tC for the past 8 years, I've really begun to like the power delivery of N/A engines.

its already been done and its nowhere near 50hp. if you get an exhaust and intake it will look like it adds more power than it does because its leaning out the engine which it what you would do in a tune. i would love to hear your explanation for using an intercooler though.

Those Subaru numbers are for 2013 Model Years. 19/25 for WRX and 17/23 for STi. Then there's the Mazdaspeed 3 at 18/25 and Lancer Evo at 17/23. The only one remotely reasonable is the Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T at 21/30. What other turbo models are there? And what mileage do they get?

As long as I am getting above 10 mpg, I really don't care that much. While I'm happy to have better gas mileage, I'll take power over MPG any day. I'm not a delivery driver, so if it costs me an extra $20 a week, it's no matter.
