Turbo yes or no?
Well i got another email the guy said that there was still and opening to throw my car in the shop and get a free turbo kit.. i want the turbo but if anything happens to the engine or tranny no more warrenty... so im damned if i do and im damned if i dont.. my tranny is acting up on my again... i just dont know what to do.. the car will be gone for 60 days if i do it... and that means i have to drive my dads truck and i dont have $$$ just to kill if my car does die on me if i do add that turbo... what do you guys think???

nope, not worth it if you're worried about the warrenty. you get what you pay for and I doubt the shop will be too willing to work on a car that's damaged after they've already given a free turbo kit

instead of saving up for a sc or faster car, save up for a tranny upgrade. a free turbo is free, so spend a few bucks strengthening vulnerable components. oppertunities like this dont come up that often, so if possible try to do it.
i'm not sure whats available for tranny upgrades but i believ austin519 (search his name) has some modifications to his.

not worth having turbo at all. first of all the car is too damn heavy u have to understand this car aint meant for racing is morre a luxurious car. save ur money son and get urself a S2000 or somethin if you worryin about going faster even if u get a supercharger dat only boost u up to what 50 HP dats ****. like i said son betta off save ur paper and move on a faster car.

Don't just get a turbo to get a turbo. research and make sure you re-enforce other parts of the car and that the car is turbo ready. I agree that it might be better to get a faster car and mod it but there is nothing wrong with trying to make a TLS faster. You will go through tires though trying to launch that sucker!
A turboed CLS6 ran a 12.9 on 6.5 pounds of boost. Also what kind of turbo is it and how big?
