FUCK YEAH!!! GREAT POST!!! AND THIS IS THE KINDA RESPONSES I WANTED TO SEE... I AM HEADING TO BG FOR NOS AND TO TALK ABOUT HONDATA TUNING AND I WILL REPLY TO THIS TONIGHT!!! +1 FOR NOT JUST SAYING "turbos rock" or some dumb shit. LOL.

but hm, it does take some engineering prowess ( measurements more than anything else of wheels and housings, etc etc etc ) to have a proper setup - I guess when it comes down to it, BOTH have the same amount of R&D into them depending on the owner

I think there is a big misconception from the masses that because it's so prolific in the magazines and the car media to see an FI car that it's just a simple bolt up a turbo and that's it. It is far from that, although there are so many off the shelf "kits" available for soooo many cars now it truly is easy to do, as long as you keep it within the intended limits.
See, a lot of these young bucks think that they can get an Ebay kit and merely "turn up the boost" because they "know" that their B16 block is going to hold 25psi...... They may have seen their buddy's SLEEVED and BUILT motor hold that much boost, but the limits of both the "kit" and the stock motor may be different. Then when they sling a rod or a piston thru the side of the block, they blame the TURBO KIT instead of their own stupidity for the failure.
Every single component has it's limitations and it's range where they're efficient. That includes N/A components too. The beauty of N/A components is that IF done correctly, the majority of the consumers will NOT supercede the ability of those types of components. In other words, a cam or valves or retainers or flowed head will put out X amount, period. You can't turn "up" anything on them to supercede their max output. You can overrev a motor and blow them up, but 90% of the time as long as you don't act like a dumb ass and it was installed correctly......some ying yang can't just turn up a dial and screw it all up. The motor will rev to X, the internals will spin to X, and the car will put out Y. The real hard part is figuring out the combination of those internal components to make it put out as much Y as possible.
With boost, it is easier to turn it "up", but it's also easier to screw things up if you don't do it correctly.
Both sides have their pros and cons IMO.
turbos rock asshole LOL
