Ouch Ouch~~~

So happy, at least i have sama kakis... Kekeke~~~

I am a newbie at the force induction section, keeping it as standard as possible now is my goal, upgrade one by one to sustain max boost~~~

What is your preferable boost? How much do you want to achieve?

Why does everyone have this obsession with high boost? You should aim to produce your target HP with as low boost as possible. High boost puts a huge strain on your engine internals.

Rajie: to answer your question, I think the VF8 can effectively boost around 1.3 bar? But the center section of the VJ20/VF10/VF8 are all the same, so the turbine shaft isn't really happy spinning at high speed. It is my opinion that RELIABLE boost for all these turbos are about 1.0 - 1.2 bar.

planning to get either one of the car above but im not used to driving japs car..
therefore its kinda hard for me to choose..

subaru ver 8 sti is my first choice but i heard the maintainance is kinda high(is it true?)..
the other choices are the evo 7, skyline gtt and caldina gt4 as the price are about the same and heard that the cost to maintain is lower than a subaru(is it true?)..

anyway im hoping that people with experience or people owning any one of it could give me some...
