HI John,
I've heard much larger numbers for a good running stock SR20DET lilke
260hp. There is also cost and complexity. A SR20DET will cost like $2500
instead
of the ~$1000 for the DE. THe turbo requires a new custom exhaust header and
there are larger frame clearence issues.
Can anybody point me to and sites that feature SR20DE upgrade parts?
I have been told that there is lot available.
