all depends on if you have the money and the skills for the upkeep, if not then no, if you do then go for it, just gonna have to be careful on snow

 

well my goal is to build a consistent drag car i can bracket race every weekend as well as having a street car with some muscle.

upkeep and stuff isn't really an issue i'm pretty dedicated to keeping things in good shape

 

i would say turbo it then, would probably be easier on the snow (not 100% sure but would make sense, i dont get snow unless i want it, so i wouldnt really know) and it will give you plenty of extra muscle for the street when its dry

 

Do yourself a favor and buy a beater to drive around in the winter, or garage your tib in the winter. Boost in the snow doesn't seem fun to me...

 

chevy truck FTW!!!!!!!!!:3_vliegen

 

You only live once, so go for it. Shouldn't be a problem if you have the time/money to keep up with it.

 

yeah that seems to be the theme behind the tib lol, you live once so do what you can with the money you have. i really dont want a winter beater because i drive 2.5 hours home then back to school once every few weeks and i want something i can rely on

 

i SAY GO FOR IT!!!!! How much boost you looking to run? If your gonna be running low boost it shouldnt matter in the conditions you drive it. just get some good tires and you should be fine

 

My 05 Tib has been SC since it was 6 months old, 85,000 miles now. Very reliable and way more fun than when it was NA. Boost makes the 2.0 think it's a 3.0 and I still get great gas mileage.

It's my DD and it sees snow in the winter. I have a set of winter tires and no problems in the snow.

 

IMHO I say go for a turbo set up with a low psi wastegate setting. This will allow you to run lower boost in winter and then use a boost controller to crank it up in the other seasons and at the track.

 

nothing much left to add after this^ being said.

you have the money and dedication + you already thought of putting more power = the bug will always itch up your butt till you do it ... so save your time and go for it

 

dmdicks for president?!?!?!?!?

no but honestly i like the whole idea of low psi in the winter, still keeping good mileage on my frequent trips from home/school and being able to run in that 14psi range at the track on the weekends.

thanks for the input i was just extremely curious to see if it's worth doing to a car that sees every season
