Think about it this way, you buy a GST for "X" ammount and whats the 1st thing anyone does to upgrade?? Buy a better turbo, Change to a FMIC and piping instead of the stock SMIC, possibly port and polish the head, change injectors, change the plugs, up the boost and some other misc. things. Granted, That's pretty nice upgrading you've done, but in essence you have changed all the turbo parts on the "GST" to pretty much the same thing a person with some knowledge on the 420A (yes there are some stupid people with 420A's out there and its my personal agenda to bitch slap all of them into shape) can do for the same HP output and have spent less than buying a GST and upgrading.
I will say that a person with a 4G63T and the right knowledge and creativity, can beat the 420A group in HP if they know how to maximize the power efficiently. I know the stock 4G63T blocks can hold up to I think 500hp which is amazing to say the least However, if you get a dumbass (yes you 4G63 people have them too) who hasnt done anything special to the car and thinks their car is faster or better than a 420A properly that has been properly built and tuned just because its a GST, I can guarantee you the 420A will win. Thats my .02
Wow, you're probably the first N/A person I respect on these boards. Anyways, how much "output" do you have right now and how much have you spent for both the car and the turbo kit...?
