    Who said you can't do tuning? Check out AEM-FIC

    I already have one....

    1. I do not do any 4 wheeling
    2. If I did, I would STILL use a turbo! Just a smaller one, for quicker spool!
    96 Eclipse Spyder GSX (already turbo, AWD swap)
    93 Eagle Summit AWD (4G63 turbo swaps)

    I personally would love to do such a swap one day, but until she is over 20 years old, my options are very limited because of MD state inspection regs.

    I would love to rescue a totaled WRX or STi, lighten the VX, swap the veins, brains, and guts, and then tune her to high heaven. This is all reliant on me winning tonight's Mega Millions though.

    Did you really just asked me that? I thought I made it perfectly clear, that I prefer turbochargers to supercharger!

    But I suspect that like most people, you do not bother with the destitution between turbo vs super chargers.

    I have not yet turbocharged my VX. I have to complete two other car projects (converting my Eclipse Spyder from FWD - Auto to AWD - 5sp manual and then installing 4G63 Mitsu engine in Triumph TR7) before I can undertake the turbo VX project. But I started collecting the parts and AEM FIC is the first step in my "master plan".

    And as I have said, I am often tempted with the LS4 conversion... But that will only happen if someone develops (and sells) a good starter mount option.

    As far SMOG is concerned, forced induction is easier to pull off than LS4 swap, but in Mass, that is only a concern for another 2 years. After 15 years, they stop checking OBD2 codes, so you can get away with almost anything
