Once you've had boost it's hard to go back. Cool. But not impossible!

Turbo vs NA is an inherently stupid argument since it is always going to be a matter of personal taste. The reality is that pushing air/fuel mixture into an engine rather than sucking it in creates more power from the same displacement. Sure a 6 litre v8 is powerful, but all things being equal a 6 litre v8 with 15 psi of pressure in the intake manifold is going to be a lot more powerful Smile . The opinion that turbos are "cheating" is just bullshit. Turbo's are making good use of the energy produced by the engine, instead of letting it go straight out the exhuast.
