Single turbo for 1900, is it worth it?
Is it worth making my 1j sc300 go from 284 to 380 rwhp for $1900 for everything out the door? The car already has suspension and a diff in it, aswell as good bushings all around. Is there a huge difference between 280 going to 380 hp? I know the difference between 200-300 is pretty large, but I've been told the feeling between 300-400 isnt that great. Can anyone thats gone from stock twins to a single chime in?

What can be expected with 400whp? Rolling burnouts in second? It happens already with 255's in 1st.

Pull up next to a lightly modded EVO or STI, and you'll want that extra 100hp.

I say do it, I have 400 with w58 and love it, before I was 284 a 12psi, later you want more and more, the only problem is gas consumption.
