i would have to disagree with the whole keeping it stock = reliablity thing. i have a friend of mine who is stock and is having some allmost very serious problems with his car. head gastket may be leaking and that just his car. but i have had no problems with mine being modified. i find it to be a lot more fun. as far as turbo lag goes you are just in the wrong gear go down another gear. you can downsift to 3rd gear at 80 and not have any lag. or if you stay in 4th you will have a little bit of lag. though i am not to shure how bad the lag is with the stock air box and stuff since i have not had it for so long now. but i do know that mine spools up very fast and will be even faster when i upgade my turbo here in a few months. but yeah there is nothing like getting on to an open on ramp and applying the gas just to realize you are now merging on the highway at 90-100mph...... or passing cars on the lonly backroad where the passing lanes are short you get by them with lots of room to spair. or when you are really in the "sprited" mood and you see that car flying up on you and waiting till the last second to down shift to 3rd and punch it just to match and start pulling away from the car befor they even get a nose past you. yes this car is soo much fun to drive. as long as you change the oil regularly and watch the oil level you should have no problems, along with changing out all of the vacume lines with silicone hoses you will be very very happy.
