once you go turbo injected nothing else will satisfy 8)
Turbo you only are on boost when you need it. so you can build a really reliable motor with low compression and boost it.

Turbos are great for all street applications. Doesn't matter if it's daily or not.
If you voted Carbs you have never ridden in a fast turbo car.

I'm glad you guys started this thread.... I've been discouraged because times have been so tight and have been think'n of selling my Turbo and going back to the two TBs.... I'm so close, but being out of work for two months (hurricane took the buisness out), then not being able to work cause of my recent surgery, along with insurance deductable, and well, the holidays are comm'n, I have just about giv'n up.... I'm Soooooo close....

I guess I'll stick it out and just finish it.... Sure getting tired of looking at the car just sitt'n there....
