Oh goodness yes...Turbo sounds good on anything. The bigger the better. Just not a cost effective route...For me anyways. I started down that path actually, of turbo'ing my Z28 and quickly got out of it after I had dropped about $2k into it and realized I had about another $5k to go

Yeah, it was going to be a hefty hefty tab, unfortunately. It would have been great, for the simple fact that I would have been one of very very few to have a turbocharged v8 Camaro. But oh well...maybe some day. A dream, like you said. I have a friend with a Corrado. Has an exhaust on it, that's it. But I like 'em

that would have been one hell of a scary ass ride. personally i think you should still save and try for it. and yeah corrado's are kool IMHO. and they handle great. only downside is the fwd but that can be looked past. and the whole 4motion or syncro idea fixes that.

4 motion is the current vw awd tcs system. truly an engineering masterpiece. syncro is the older awd system used by vw. deakins knows way more than i do though. i just klnow it can be done with $$$

If you can afford it, then turbo for sure!

If he gets a turbo he going to need to get a exhaust anyway or he'll be choking the hell out of his motor.

True, but if you can afford it, still turbo. Exhaust - 5hp, Turbo - 50+hp, Turbo+Exhaust - 70+hp. The choice is obvious...if you can afford it, get them both at the same time. If you can only afford one of the other though, get the turbo and worry about the exhaust later.

If he's got $1400+ to spend on a turbo,then affording a exhaust shouldn't even be a question.Not to mention he originally stated he would spend "a couple of hundred" if he needed to.It's a big jump from $200 to $1400+ haha.I still stand by suspension and either full exhaust or a small n2o shot.

Agreed...I say go for the nitrous as well. Although that would put you in just as much need of an exhaust as a turbo does...But still, n2o gets my vote.
