Love the STI Ts build you've done! Would love to do something like this myself. All I have started so far in 8 months is an OEM Shark Fin and tint!

Your car looks great! But if you're going to have all those sti markings/badges on an auto, you should do something to boost the power a bit

Coming from a Z, i would love a power boost but it seems our engines arent made to be turboed and i fear engine failure.

Aren't meant to be turboed? Do some research. They take to boost pretty well!

Wheels look good and the car is clean.

I havent done specific FI reseach on this forum but ive spent countless hours on the forums in general to see enough blown engines. I know what we see on here isnt the reality for everyone but i wont be taking the chances.

Have you seen all the engine failure without boost? There are a ton. Just like anything else you just have to be smart with it. The edelbrock kit actually comes with a powertrain warranty!

Yes ive seen both. Which kind of adds on to the reason i stay away haha. But the fact that edelbrock has a warranty (which i didnt know) says alot about the supercharger. I havent seen many blown engines in general due to superchargers compared to turbo but ill look into that kit

Or you could consider Cosworth since they have a lot of R&D behind their kit.
