    Have you decided if the quality hot side and billet turbo were worth it over previous builds?

    i would like to try a nice hotside on a china turbo with a good cam next i think.

    i absolutely think they were worth it, i feel like this is the only car i have built that i could have made 1000whp if i just kept adding boost, it was very happy to lay down power
