Stock Bigport Engine + ITB?s?!

Saturday afternoon philosophy...
In the 4AGE community there seems to be two kinds of people... those
who believe bigger is better no matter what, and those who believe size
doesn't matter... it's how you use what you've got :wink:

If you want bragging rights at the dyno, you have two choices... pour a
big heap of cash into a N/A engine, or slap on a big turbo. Either
way you are liable to end up with a peaky engine that is really only at
home on a race track... not that there is anything wrong with that Smile

The other kind of people are not much concerned with how much power
they make. They want to improve one or more aspects of their car to
make it a better than it was, and more fun to drive. They want it handle
on the streets of their city and look good while doing it. And when the
opportunity presents, carve up backroads on a fine afternoon. You can do
this with an honest 150hp at the wheels.

But the one thing everyone has in common when messing around with
underpowered and beaten up 25 year old cars, is the desire to do
something for yourself. It does not have to make sense. There is intense
satisfaction in modifying cars to test your own ideas. And this is how we
learn... make mistakes... fix them, and one day drive that car you built
out of the garage...
Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!
It would be a boring world if everyone did the same thing !!

Cheers... jondee86
