I just wanna find out the pro's and con's of running normal vs turbo.
But i'll pm you later.

From my understanding the cons of a turbo is that it takes some time for the turbo to build enough pressure before it really kicks in that extra power, so a naturally aspirated car will hit the higher revs faster. Doesn't mean and N/A car is better, it has it's caveats too.

I'm gonna install an Exhaust system in my car not for speed but for just the sound I love the deep sound of cars :p

Depends on so many factors actually.

But in a nutshell what you say is correct.

mostly, but not allways.

if you take a NA (normal aspirated) car that is 100KW ATW, it will own a 100KW ATW turbo car hands down, let's say from 0-100KPH or more. No Turbo lag means faster to the get go.

Example. My one mate had a Superboss, Mint clean superboss, produced 105KW ATW. other mate had a turbo corsa like mine, exact setup. he produced 156KW. the Superboss with 51KW less would own the corsa robot to robot without breaking a sweat. Until the stretches of road between robots got to about 250+ meters and the superboss was only a distant memory.

But yeah as I said it depends on alot of things cause even a NA motor can be lazy, and with all the advancements in turbo's and stuff like that cause the cars to be quick at low RPM. Take mine for example. My Turbo starts spooling from 2800RPM, wich is lekker low and it carries right on through to 6200RPM, my redline is 6500RPM.
