TB's vs Turbo
Which would get the most respect at a show? -
A VTS with wild cams & tb's
or a VTS turbo running 250bhp+

id personally go TBs.
booost is ghey
Tbs on TU engines dont give huge power unlike on redtop engines for example. But give good throttle response, improve all over torque and sound the bollocks.
the only thing a turbo does is go broom tish! which makes the macdonalds crew beat off over. lol
turbos may produce more bhp but a well driven NA engine will piss on a tubby round a track

if you intend to use the power, throttle bodies seem the more sensible of the two options,
would be pretty hard keeping say 250+bhp turbo's Saxo to the ground.

LOL at Respect also. Thats a Need for Speed Underground thing eh?
"Your just earned yourself 5 stars rep hot shot!"
I do love Turbos, for example check this beauty of a Turbo'ed 106 at Trax:
But on these types of engines I would much prefer N/A TBs. End of the day mate
if you leave your bonnet closed who will know the differenc

both are good performance conversions if done correctly. Never base a performance modification on whether someone will release bodily fluids over your car in sheer exitement. Otherwse you end up with an engine hat looks nice but doesnt meet its full potential, a bodykit for your engine so to speak...

There's nothing like hearing a TB'd engine coming up a rally stage..
But then again if a turbo'd car is running anti lag etc like a WRC car then they sound damn good too..
