turbo GA16DE owners? Opinions please...

...so my car is finally running well NA. I have mastered my pressure plate and am able to use the car the way I want to (aside from needing to put in my shortshifter and solidify the shifter stabilizer bracket...). The car also REALLY needs an LSD and also a FSTB again. I think I'll put a Phantom Grip or somesuch into an NX1600 box and swap that on sometime.

But all the same, it could use a little more power. It's fun to drive and has come a long way from stock, but I didn't want to shell out any more $$ for more NA power (cams, honing, ecu...).

So I started a turbo parts pile, and it's nearly complete. Still haven't decided on tuning route for that, yet. Will be a T25 setup, intercooled, 7-8 PSI to begin with.

Only thing I am hanging on is losing the response and drievability and...and..."car running well" goodness that I've got going on.

So encourage me! I'd like to hear about how driveable and responsive your systems are, overall fun factor, reliability, and compared to NA (or stock - before/after whatever).

Thanks guys.
