4) Read my post and the post in the link I posted, by Hydrazine, which I copied for you in this thread.

I guess your flawed logic is where you could look at the yellow line to make your conclusion that the MREV2 is useful if you don't intend at getting a spacer at all, however I just bypassed that illogical thought altogether since a reasonable person would get the spacer at less than half the price since it produces nearly the same power and after the spacer, it's obvious that the MREV2 provides nominal gains over the spacer alone on the DE.

Hopefully that's simple enough to understand now. If it isn't, I don't know what is...

- Question is for a non-revup.
- Yes, it is pretty much useless once you get the spacer as I explained below. If mod a) and mod b) both give the same whp, have the same effects on the car, but mod b) costs 2* as much, why would anybody even consider mod b)?


Originally Posted by SDGenius

- Yes, I do recommend the spacer. Who wouldn't for reasons listed below.

Thanks dude. Please don't PM me going forward... Anyways, i'm done with this. It's like arguing with somebody in the special olympics.

Just one question. why go with the NA build? in the end you will want more power and want to buy a turbo kit.

You went the same way when i first started. I spent 10k on NA stuff and went for 230 to 276whp. Or spend the 5k on a used turbo kit or a boosted performance kit and get 400whp.

thats just my ..02 cents
