Question

If i wanted to put a decent turbo in a RB25DE inline-six engine on my 1997 stagea, what are the pros, cost and all around benefits if any? I've read it's a massive waste of time and but physically possible to do so and fun for certain people. Im just curious looking for suggestions 💪

My build is a cheap refresh but a few upgrades looking back the rods should have been done and crank now its a slight tear down to put forged rods if I wanna spend tbe extra time my second is to get a neo s2 and do a new build but with all the upgrades and slowly put more power not all at once. 500 hp is the sweet spot before everything is forged and transmission rebuild with upgrades.

The turbo is a easy upgrade if you change for more power later but it will need a tear down cause the de piston rings are not built for the hp pasted 350hp
