A.) Wrong forum

B.) It depends more on how you drive and maintain it than whether or not you boost.

DO NOT mod your only car, just setting yourself up for disappointment.

If you have a 2nd car to drive when this one breaks or you are working on it, sure, otherwise it's a big negative.

First mod = 2nd car, lol.

If your gonna boost then I think it would be OK to do a basic SC. If your gonna turbo then make sure you have around 7-10k of discretionary money to use.

I wouldn't turbo my only ride. But sc should be fine. Much more reliable!
