In Reply To To Upgrade Turbos or Not (Please answer the question) posted by NytWolf on January 07, 2005 at 01:33 PM
     
Message issues. Your car has way more power stock then what you can handle so unless you are going for a record, don't fix it unless your bored and rich.

For what it's worth, I am moved from HKS 550s down to sport 500 to hopefully get a more trackable car.

:Background:
:1) I can pull a motor in roughly 4 hours and reinstalll it in 6 hours. That's from start to finish and making sure everything is correct, and not just doing it to break records. So with that said, pulling the motor isn't a big issue.
:2) My turbos have roughly 90k miles on them and haven't showed any signs of oil leakage and doesn't make unusual noises.
:3) I am planning on a rebuild of my motor soon.
:Big question:
:Should I upgrade my turbos right now? If I do, I will use Sport 500s.
:Things to consider:
:1) My turbos may be good, so they may still last.
:2) However, because JWT (or any vendor that sells the turbos) require a core charge, if I wait until the turbos go bad, there is a chance that they may not take the turbos if the housings are bad. In this case, I might have to eat the core charge.
:3) I don't have a goal, but I don't intend to stop future modifications. On the other hand, I don't plan to go beyond the capabilities of Sport 500s.
:4) Although I don't mind engine pulls, it still is a chore.
:Back to the question, should I upgrade now or wait?
