Hi Dana,
The SR20DE is more than enough power for the Roadster chassis for 90% of the
drivers I know. I have done both the SR20DE and SR20DET swaps, and I can
assure you that the turbo swap is twice the work and twice the expense. Yes,
the turbo car makes all sorts of power, but I don't think the extra power is
worth all the extra effort.

Subject: To Turbo or not to Turbo
So, what's the advice on turbo vs. non-turbo for the SR20 engine? Looks
like
a lot more work putting the turbo version into a small space, probably more
expensive too. Is there much difference in the driving characteristics?
Seems like a 50% increase in power to the aspirated DE would be plenty of
power. Anybody had experience with both engines? I'd like to hear what
people have to say before I continue my pursuit of one or the other. Thanks
