I know the majority of you had n/a Vls before buying (or converting) a turbo..How long did you have your n/a before you bought (or converted) a turbo?

See, I would have loved to have had a turbo from the beginning, but I don't like the idea of a 16 y/o with a Turbo..So I'll Give it a year or so and i'll go buy a calais turbo..

I'm just a really sik driver dude. LOL, nah I've never crashed my car in anyway way shape or form...only lost it once or twice...but then again I lost my license already so that's what I'd be more worried about.

Get a standard VLT...You'll be fine.....get used to it then start to mod the motor... If you get a n/a then want to start to Turbo the thing..you'll have to then worrie about the box and rear end...oo and stopping all cost money Buy a VLT learn to drive that..when ya ready to mod the thing it will take awhile before you have to worrie about the above......plus ya get to save a bit of money for way more power

I had my n/a for about 2 years before it ****ed me off enough that i went out and got a VL turbo. Well actually I was looking for a nother car one year after owning the n/a, but i was too lazy at the time to do anything about it. But I have to say finding the right' VL turbo was worth the wait after all.

I've had my sl for probably two years now, but for the past year i've wanted to convert to turbo, its only now (when I don't have money) that i'm actually starting. I'd love to have the cash to buy a calais. I'd recommend to anyone that if they have the slightest thoughts of conversion, then to get a calais turbo to save you the effort and keep it genuine. Yet I contradict myself and keep working away on my sl.. One day...
