I'm doing this on behalf of a friend looking to swap out his old POS SOHC KA which has seen better days. (I'm personally content with my DOHC KA

) He likes the sound of the a pinned RB and the BOV of the CA and RB. But the originallity of a VG cost and power for the price and all being NA came in as an option. I had said that the CA is a little wimpy next to the RB and the RB with a nice new greddy style intake manifold looks tits next to the VG and CA any day. But he had read that the RB20 has a ceramic turbo and that they have been known to blow up the turbine or something. Keep in mind if I were doing this swap I would be researching the piss out of this but... This is for my buddy that doesn't have internet. If some one would chime in there opinion on these options that would be great. My 2cents went with the RB20 for being the best bang for the buck.

SOME QUICK PRO's AND CON's WOULD BE GREATLY APREACIATED ^^)

:2 c:

kthxbye!
