    Note that sometimes you need to learn the car before diving into that much power. For that reason I have not boosted my EP3

    Modern ECU's make it a lot safer to boost NA cars then in the past, that being said... not all rods are equal.

    Short answer : it depends on the car and your HP goals. Some stock engine NA cars are actually better on boost than some factory turbo cars.

    100% , some factory N/A engines are simply detuned(as in the OEM simply removed the turbos and left everything we consider boost critical intact; save for timing) . basically any engine that spent time in Group C(M119,AJ12) , GT1(M120,LT5) , or BTCC(F20)

    I have an upgraded turbos, manual swapped BMW 135i as it sits today. I bought it 6 years ago when I was 18, with a stage one tune and exhaust. Then I did intakes, then eventually downpipes, chargepipe with BOV, intercooler, fueling and all the maintenance. I thought it was a rocket already. Once I really got comfortable with the power I upgraded the turbos to bigger twins and it makes 500 whp on the conservative 93 octane map and somewhere north of 550 whp on ethanol. Only issue with the car was the automatic transmission started slipping as it couldn’t take the power but I always craved for the car to be manual. Eventually swapped it and will never sell this car. What I’m getting at is get used to power levels in stages instead of going straight for a fully built car especially if you’ve never owned one before. Do as much of the work yourself as possible so you can learn and truly understand your machine. Happy wrenching and drive your cars guys!

    It's hard to find a stock high compression NA motor that handles boost better than a coyote. It's probably hard to find a stock turbo motor that handles boost as well as a coyote.

    Your example is literally what I am currently working on.😂 '99 Eclipse 420a. I sourced an actual stage 2 Hahn kit with fuel pump, injectors, and fmu for less than a grand. Also found a Fluidyne radiator that they used to make to fit the 420a cars. I think I'm at the point of just building the car the way I wanted to back in the day, just not cutting any corners.

    If your car is naturally aspirated it is safer to Supercharger it. If its already a turbo car then upgrade the turbos.

    Wait.... why did you not speak with Alex before he made the 370z vid!? He totally dodged the whole boosting segment in favor of how good it is naturally aspirated. He could have narrowed the turbo/supercharger options. He made a good point..... but we want options! Nice job on this vid.

    Yeppers, I’ve owned a Impreza 2.5rs 2005MY for almost 20 years now and have gotten so many funny questions from car people and non car people. Even Subaru enthusiasts that where is the big wing? Where is the hood scoop? They look under hood and ask where is the turbo? Early on I always wanted to turbo kit it or swap it with a wrecked donor car. The car or sentimental to my now, first new car at 21 car I got married in auto cross track days etc… in 2016 I puts cams in it and a bunch of other goodies already had bolt ins exhaust CAI upgraded suspension and brakes already on it. Got her tuned and it puts down to the wheels about what a stock bug eye 2.0L wrx would make and weights about 150-200 lbs lighter. Is it “fast” ? NO bit is it quick and fun to drive hells yeah!!
