Default How to make an NA faster

How do you turbo an NA?




Seriously though, Just buy a diesel car! After driving a 1980 Audi 5000 Diesel as my daily driver I finally took the 944 out again today! The thing is a Go Cart!!

We need to talk Myth Busters into strapping a jato rocket to the roof of a 944 to settle this question once and for all.

'What someone needs to do is to actually strap a turbo onto an NA, crank up the boost, and see how long it lasts
