yeah I'm more leaning towards turbo, a really over the hill naturally aspirated for some spirited street drives and cruises really isn't a suitable option the engine would be made to rev and be driven hard its really not made to just be a slow old slug around town until you really get into the top end of the driving experience where 90% of driving isn't done unless on the track.
The 160hp a12 that Simon did years ago for the A12 is a good goal but id be happy to back it off keep it more reliable and save and the 120-130hp turbo is a reasonable and more than doable power range especially for the A15 that way I'm not going stupid and breaking diff's and gearboxes its just a good fun medium, but then the issue of loving boost comes in and put in a tee piece and go silly for more power haha
I always wanted the naturally aspirated Twin weber and now that I have built it mild its really not that so over the top its good fun but when your reving the guts out of it and just don't seem to be going no where and a Suzuki swift drives past you it really dampens the mood. I know its not ment to be some rocket and I never wanted it to be at all I love the classic and old mechanical style and simplicity yet I just seek abit more fun under the foot.
