so i have settled on a final plan for my p5. this is several years down the road, probably 09/10, but instead of even dealing with boosting the fsde, im going to buy a gtr clip (~2500), 98 protege es bp from a junkyard with harness (~500) and swap into p5. all mounting locations are the same etc. what this will allow me to do is run the gtr set up in the p5, and at 350 whp on stock internals will be WELL within its abilities, and daily drivable. so for lets say 5 thousand total after work, wiring, and management and tune, i have 350 whp. lets look at if i tried this with fsde: 1) built block - ~3800 from speed circuit, more with high flowing head etc. lets say 4500 in the end, as a low ball, probably more. 2) hiboost turbo kit - 3800 3) engine management 1000-1200 4) tune 200-300, and at 350 whp, this probably wont be to reliable, or only 350 whp on race gas sometimes when the humidity is right, venus is aligned with uranus and such.
so we have 5 thousand for reliable power vs 9800 dollars for maybe sometimes probably still going to explode power. case rested
