Well it sounds like your friend drove the car pretty hard. Plus that 10-15 pounds on a built engine. Did he ever boost the stock engine? If not your whole argument was invalid, because I'm talking about boosting a stock engine. And if you say it was stock I won't believe you because there is no way stock D series rods are going to handle 10, let alone 15 PSI boost. They will snap like a twig. Oh, no wonder he was always breaking stuff. You are comparing 10-15 on a modded D16 VS 7 PSI on a stock one?
And I was merely making a point that the turbo'd D16 would be faster than a B18C1 swap.
And how do think that the turbo kit will cost as much as the swap? There is WAY more involved in a swap. Not to mention all the labor it takes to put it in when you can install a turbo kit in a day.
