turboing a 4AGE

[NoHachi]

Turbo's rule at the track..period.
The whole Japanese mentality is all nice and well, but turbo's when properly sized have no disadvantages at the track...you're doing high revs, the snail stays spooled and you always have boost..Even a mild turbo setup will walk all over a blacktop at the track.
For example: the N2 AE86 trackcars did an event at willowsprings..all out racecars (some of em) imported straight from Japan. The fastest laptimes were 6 (!!!! ) seconds slower then a miata with an FM turbokit/koni's and lowering springs.
Boost rules in any kind of competition without limiting rules. NA is more of a purist fetish thing then a performance advantage in any situation.
