some vehicals that are turbo'd suck and should have never had a turbo, but in the case of a supra, the second that turbo kicks on its a hold your shit moment, expecially when you upgrade it, a turbo is like nitrous besides the point its not going to blow your motor after 5 uses its just helping the motor with more air intake. the more air the more power, but in order for you to have the air you need fuel to support it.

let me put it this way, i have a 1979 camaro with a 350 w/450hp and it was fun just like the supra its big long and heavy, it doesnt stick in the rain very well neither. but when i went and i test drove my turbo'd supra i had the biggest smile ever and the supra was completely stock. everything about the car was amazing. i love cars because the amount of power they have, i like to work on making cars faster so i can be faster than that damn little honda that thinks he is fast with his 4 inch muffler and a cold air intake system and a little engine cover that says v-tech when most of the time they never are. now those little bastards are putting turbos on there cars and trying to stay up and doing a pretty good job. thats when we upgrade our turbos because our motors where built for a turbo and we can push more boost than they can. meaning no chance. you NA i never test drove one but i have raced one before and he had put 6k just in rebuilding and performance wise he got new headers and exhaust and intake, and he stayed up till i got to 2nd gear then i just wasted him out of the hole. so that is why the turbos are great. if you want to see a good diffrence between a NA and tubo, test drive the VW beetles go and test the NA versus the Turbo you will feel the diffrence
