It doesn't sound like you want to be a street racer, drag racer, serious autocrosser, or anything like that, so just think about what would make you happier. Simple as that.
I have just under 95k on my b18. Never been rebuilt. Change the oil every 3k miles or 3 months, just flushed the radiator a month or 2 ago. Doesnt burn oil. Everything is stock except the short ram intake. I def. dont wanna race it. Auto x and fun in the twisties, yes. I have eibach sportline springs and koni yellow ext. adjustable shocks. Im thinking of maybe a smaller turbo pushing 6 or alittle more psi. Thinking of something that will spool up quicker. Im afraid to go NA because of reliability since its my DD. But since i drive to kennesaw nearly every week, how bad would a turbo be on gas compared to NA?
