Turbo lag sucks. Fun as hell when it finally boosts though. I'm not too sure about newer turbo systems, but I know that on a wastegate system, you can crack the gate open a hair (creating an air leak), and the turbo will spool up faster.....

Of course, if I were to go forced induction, I'd see a good MPG drop(5th gear is really tall in the Si's holding 3k RPM at 60mph, not loud though), and I'd have to run premium fuel. I could get the JRSC street setup with a 4.4" pulley to make 5psi and up the WHP from 124 to 174 and WTQ from 118-148, and that would be a simple bolt-on. It has an onboard 'powercard' which sets its own tuned fuel map while in boost, as opposed to the race kit(4.0" or 3.8" 8+psi) which needs tuning and upgraded injectors.

I'm staying stock for now though. I need to maintain my MPG's as far above 30 as possible.

It's ok, he has a '93. An 8th Gen Riv could take me no sweat.

Another past ride, 95 Impreza. With Winterforce tires, it was a blast to drive in the winter.
