the reason why I didnt talk greatly about doing it is because you have to be very careful with turboing a type-r. Why do you think there are very few turboed-type-r's that last a long time? I know a guy running 22psi I think is with a gsr engine. I know a lot of other people with turboed gsr's, but only know of 2 turboed type-rs. Also a lot of people recommend you don't turbo a type r. I'm not saying don't do it, just be careful. I never knew that drag turbo made a street legal for the type-r. I know that drag turbo makes high quality kits, I have a friend looking to get one for his LS motor. Sorry if I was just saying dont do it type-r's hate turbos they don't but just becare with it.

They are high quality kits, and work very well. so, teg#1, i would go with the type r, despite clates somewhat misleading comments. best of luck
