    this is a stupid question with no proper answer.

    I mean in engineer terms, neither is very efficent so both suck!

    Racing throws the argument of unfair advantage towards boost.

    To me, and more cost efficient and dependability, NA would be better. Anytime you add more sheet to something, there's just that much more sheet to fucc up. Later, QD.

    depends on the vehicle in my opinion.. some cars really need the boost for it to go anywhere. me personally i like n/a just cause its fun to run boosted cars and either win or come damn close.

    i choose na for anything requiring constant power. boost for anything just balls to the wall.

    For saving weight I would say boost. To make the same power as boost with a NA motor i'm sure it would be heavier.

    personally i think it just depends on the person and what you want or expect out of the car

    I like the sound of a LOUD BOV, but nothing is better than a BIG BLOCK on high octane fuel!!! The smell and sound is sooooo sweeet!!! Plus 900hp+ NA Big Block earns you RESPECT! Turbo is for those who want power but don't wanna spend the extra time rebuilding, until it is toooo late.............BOOOM!!!!!! N/A is for those who enjoy the real aspects of power, big cams, stroked motors, big bore, forged pistons, high compression, huge cranks, big heads, CARBURETED, N/A FTMFW!!!!!!

    I love the sound of a BOV or a supercharger scream. So I would have to go with boosted. Also you can go faster for cheaper boosted then NA.

    For the purist driving experience, you'd want the motor to be free breathing or without any forced induction. However, technology is changing fast and sooner or later new high tech turbo cars (Porsche and BMW etc.) will feel almost as good as the best drivers cars today (GT3, R8, ZR1, M3, Scruderia, Gallardo LP, Exige, RX8, etc.) that are breathing N/A and supercharged(almost as good).

    He said he likes boost with nissan and others import auto makers. Just not honda.


    Since its already been brought back to life, Ill give my opinion.

    If I had tons of money to spend, I would definitely build all my hondas to be NA. Sharp throttle responce, the sound of ITBs screaming... But allas, I do not have tons of money.lol Boost is just so damn efficient, its hard to argue with it.

    You can spend under $1500 on a reliable turbo set up for an ls motor and make more hp and torque than you would have if you dropped in a ITR motor.




    Turbo= bang for your buck
    And if you want to go for the max amount of hp you can possibly squeeze out an engine, it HAS to be FI.

    If you just want to go fast go boost
