Turbo regrets?
Ken - I assume you have stock HG right? How many pounds are you boosting? Sorry to be off topic.
As for regrets - the only one I can think of is the money spent. If I sold my car, and all modifications, I'd have enough money to use as a down payment on a condo somewhere instead of paying rent each month

Yes it is stock HG I'm using WG spring and boost cripped to 8.75 close to 9 psi.
What exhaust are you running? (sorry to be OT again!)
Regrets? Nah. I made sure that I'd never have to think about regrets before I took the plunge. If I couldn't afford the kit, I'd probably have a few regrets, but I worked it all out financially so its not an issue.
As far as the kit itself, the performance, the reliability, the performance, the sound, the performance, and the performance?
Haha. Nope, no regrets here.
My car pulls like a freight train. Just beat the shit out of it at an autocross test and tune this past weekend and it never skipped a beat. Stayed in second gear for the whole course (a slow one I might add...one that I would have stayed in first gear for if my car was still NA) and I had enough power to overwhelm the rears pretty much everywhere.
My car pulls harder than many cars 5-6x as expensive. No regrets. None.

Be prepared for unknown sudden expenses. I only wish I had the money to go turbo. I bought my polished Vortech kit used with 12k miles for $2200. Couldn't pass it up, but now all of the money I spent on other things I wish I had saved up and gone the turbo route in the first place. Then again S/C+4.77s isn't a bad way to go.
Well let's see. I spent a bomb on the turbo set up. The manifold cracked so I had to pull it apart, have the heat coating stripped off and manifold rewelded, then the wastegate jammed and I blew an engine.
Regrets?? NONE!!!
It's all part of the journey.
