I would so mind

it will probably bring you to the gas station twice a day

it is so loud, it will wake up my whole neighborhood everytime i come home late at night.

it will probably get u couple of tickets too

I love my baby
I wouldn't replace it with such monster
(it would be like flushing the warranty right down the toilet)

It's going to be a totally different car

probably makes a ton of power before it spools anyways since its a 20B. i wouldnt mind having a powerful and reliable 3 rotor n/a making 300hp and lots of torque.

I cant make sense of what u mean
turbo spool has nothing to do with powerband of the motor.
that size turbo would need some n20 down low, but would make a huge HP and trap speed with a hairdryer that big

Ditto.. that's like going to see a surgeon and then acting all surprised when he/she recommends an operation.
