N/A 818 Build

Yeah, but a similar rule applies, $500 spent trying to put a Turbo on a N/A motor that already had a factory Turbo option is not cost effective (and probably requires more than $500). Why not just put that same effort into getting a WRX motor instead of trying to add Turbo to 2.5 RS. You'll end up with a better result for less $. Yes, it may not be any more effort or risk to add Turbo to 2.5 RS than add Turbo to Civic whatever, but just getting a WRX donor = so much easier & cheaper in the end.

Completely agree. Just trying to clarify a few things and add options so folks can make informed descions. Statements like "Don't turbo an RS, it's a waste." are too vague and peeve me bit.

For example:
IF you already have a N/A build
AND IF you hate wiring and harness
AND IF you are looking for more power then a header and intake can give you
BUT not so much as to justify a built motor
THEN, maybe a low boost N/A build is fair to consider. (or maybe not, but it's not MY descion)
