For me, I actually kinda felt empty after my build was over with, girl told me I was more excited with the journey rather than the end goal .
I also noticed a change in how I drive, I drive much more legally/ slower overall.
Kinda figured that with a NA car, you are kind of compelled to drive it aggressively, since you need to be at 5k+ to get power.
Car has 3 times as much power and I drive 3 times slower now lol.
Oh, and make SURE you budget in better tires. I had some seriously dangerous traction problems after turbo. be careful in rain as well, I had some scary moments before I got used to the car again.
Also, if your street racing, try and make sure you are in the right lane. The increased TQ steer can make you collide if you are in the left lane. Pretty much have right wheel drive, instead of front wheel drive lol.
I also noticed its pretty much impossible for me to street race at city speeds anymore, too easy to go from 50km-140km / 30-80 mph (3rd gear)
I just race on highways now, need all the road I can get. But now I'm moving back to a city, so I wish I was SC!
After awhile you'll get used to the power, or kill yourself....which ever comes first ! Rofl!
I remember when I first drove my 2.4 after my 2.2, and I was blown away by the 25-30hp difference. You'll like the turbo!
Remember, tires, clutch, and possibly poly inserts to support the kit

Doing the build is def a lot better than the end. Feels like you got nothing to do/look forward to lol

i remember my Z24 with poly utherane insert, and the steering wheel vibrated so much at 70-80mph lol

Thanks bud, I do have steering wheel/interior pladtic rattle @ idle in neutral, stopped at red light etc.
Also notice that if I'm not feeding enough clutch on low speed shifting 1-2, car definitely lets me know lol.
@ city speeds of 50km/30mph there is pretty much none. None either at WOT/highway speeds.
My personal opinion; I love the extra vibration, but I'm a preformance over form/drive ability type of guy. So for me it's barely noticable/easily tolerable/awesome feedback/driver:car connectivity. But for other folks it could be undesirable.
Definitely need to talk to Powell for the mounts, guy is basically Jesus for the delta platform!
Thanks bai!
