turbo or NA?
#31
Most TT kits on the market spool very quickly anyway and the NA driver will not have any lead, at least once the boosted car has traction. Simply put NA with a VQ is not worth it at all. Same if not more cost as you still have to build the motor and you will be lucky to get 300whp. Boost it. As long as you get supporting mods and everything is done right it will be a reliable car with no issues.

nice, but those things are crazy expensive compared to my $350 utec. and im not trying to build a drag car, primary purposes will be canyon drives, some autocrossing, and nice day cruises.

In fact, I have a brand new one I have never used I'll let someone have for $100 plus shipping. Just PM me.

If you're not at that of an altitude (10,000 ft+) the strain on the turbo probably won't be that big of a deal.
Here's an example I found:
For every 1000 feet you climb above sea level, there is a reduction in air density of approximately 4.5 percent
Source:
Let's see
Carrera GT = 612 hp @ sea level
less (5.280 x 0.045) = 0.2376 or 145 hp, netting 466 hp in Denver
less (8.500 x 0.045) = 0.3825 or 234 hp, netting 378 hp
At 7153 ft, both stock 996TT and CGT net 415 hp - the beauty of turbo charging!
