EEEEEENN! p.s. BOBO, your sig. always brightens my day hehe.

turbo can be just as "safe" as N/A and yield much more power and fun.

if you don't tune or maintain any car, be it N/A or FI, you can kill the engine.

bah to this "safe and not safe" business.

I'm not knockin' anyone, but as I stated earlier, just as many difficulties can arise from NA as from FI.

If you build and maintain an NA engine correctly, you won't have as many problems as if you build and maintain poorly. Same goes with an FI engine.

Application is what ultimately decides whether someone will go the naturally aspirated route or forced induction road.
