here we go again . Please have a browse around in the major HP upgrades section

But to start you off .....
engine wear - more power = more wear
mileage - about the same off the throttle . On the throttle is a different story
durability - more power = less durable
drivability - as good as stock if set up properly . Way better for overtaking as you don't have to change gears

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

A good rule of thumb is, if you cannot afford to replace the entire engine, then dont boost.

That's what I've always believed anyways (which is why Im still NA )
