Daily driver?
Is it feasible to put an EvoIII 16g in a GSX and still be able to use it as a reliable daily driver?

Figured I could put in an electronic boost controller and just dial down the boost for daily driving.

Of course you can daily drive it...i mean people have a 20g on their car that are daily drivers....but yea just dont drive it hard and stupidly on the street and you should be fine and not break shit. But yea you can just adjust the boost on the ebc lower to like 12 psi, even though i dont think its necessary. Basically by modding your car more and more youre gonna break shit eventually, but it depends on the driver how fast that will happen.

Re: Daily driver?
16g is a very streetable turbo, I wouldn't suggest anything better for a daily driver.

Re: Daily driver?
and in 4-5 years you will have a daily driven GSX with a 16G!
