I know turbos are commonly looked at as cheating over here when in a street race not on a track.
I know some people frown upon Nitrous, because its cheap and u have to "fill your power up".
But,
how can spending around 10,000 dollars on a well done turbo setup be called cheating..That blows my mind...
I must go lay down now..

Is that because they sulk like a twat when they get thier arses kicked by a turbo. Or maybe when thier engine goes boom as a lot of junkie cars seem to do. How they can class that as cheeting when all they do is squirt a bit of highly flamable concoction in that the engine was never meant to run on ill never know.

Angelos im pushing about 230 at the mo but ill be able to give better figures after the beguining of october when i get the full tune.

And as for you cant see it costing the same N/A and turbo. So far all mine as cost me including the install £2500, turbo setup that is not the other stuff on my car. You start adding the cost of manifold, bbtb, inlet manifold, NOS, head work etc to get big power and it doesnt fall far short.
