Moo, no apology necessary my friend. I'm just trying to understand the rational for the speed thing. A Stewie is no slouch as a car. She's sure not the quickest off the line and never will be even with a turbo, supercharger. She's still not gonna take Vette or a 911. You may get to beat a random ricer or two but that's about it.
So what do ya get for 5 to 10 grand? Ya get bragging rights......OOOHHHH AHHHHH, I have a turbo. You get to pop the bonnet at S2 gatherings so we naturally aspired enthusiasts can go OOOHHHH AHHHHHHH a turbo. And you get a car with a shorter lifespan and less reliability.
Obviously, it's an individual choice and everyone is free to do with their disposable income what ever they want. More power to them. (pun intended) If it were me, and I really wanted to go faster, and smoke 99% of every 4 wheeler on the road under 500K I'd buy a Hyabusa, a Honda CBR 1000 RR or a Yammie R1. You get all the speed you crave and more, and spend not much more $ than for your turbo kit. You would also get a spare set of wheels if your Stewie is in the shop!
