Because there's hardly any reason not to... 
However, might swapping in parts from other CIS cars have some benefit? Like Volvo turbos or something? I'm sure there's something else out there designed more appropriately for turbos and more fuel that ran that system. |
Then consider yourself a "serious tuner"...
I'm just a neophyte, never been serious but like the challenge of taking a stock "antiquated" platform and getting almost 400ftlb torque at the flywheel at 7lbs boost...
To me doing "period" mods tends to maintain value on certain cars...
Bastardize and you may go faster but you end up with a money pit and a car that only a "serious tuner" with less then deep pockets will consider...
I have more then one mid five figure offer from other "non serious tuners", more purists to purchase my build when complete...
Oddly enough have no reason to sell...
My TT runs, is reliable and is fast...no need to constantly fiddle and no chance of trashing a motor like most of the EFI turbo posts I see on the thread...
If I want to go very fast round and round and outperform even the mega HP older platforms with EFI, I just drive my Black Series...
Different cars for different purposes...that's what us less then serious tuners do...
But again, I'm an amateur compared to you serious guys...
I'll remain in the world of getting the most out of a platform as when the platform was new...
Perhaps it takes a bit more skill doing this, but what do I know?
