Anyone regret going forced induction?

im about to take the plunge into boost. my 16 gt currently tuned.pmas.headers.full exhaust. i drive the car on the street,nice days. Not a daily driver. Has anyone regretted boosting their newer cars?

I thought about going FI once but wanted to know how my insurance would be affected by getting FI

You bought a Mustang because you wanted a car that was fun to drive, right?
Boost makes it MORE fun

The only thing you might regret is voiding the warranty, but that is the risk you take.
Your wallet may regret the cost, but you gotta pay to play. And if you are still on stock tires & wheels, then you will probably be replacing those too.

If you have any doubt about whether boost is right for you, then you REALLY should spend time in a boosted vehicle before making the investment. Blowers are not cheap, and you are also committing to high octane fuel.

I regret........that I didn't do it sooner!!!
Honestly, at the end of the day, it is a car. Do whatever makes you happy and here at Lethal, we have the key to that happiness. Let us know.

Why would anyone regret having more horsepower? Well unless the rest of the car is lacking and you are breaking stuff all the time.

well my wareanty is prob gone already because of the tune and long tube headers. and i already have 305s out back

The only regret with FI is once you get used to it you want more and sometimes "more" is something your wallet can't handle.

I have a procharger and have been supercharged since 6000 miles wish I would of done it sooner lol I'm at 8k miles in my 15 gt

My last 5 cars were FI. I am keeping this one NA. But, for what I use it for, it really doesn't need a blower. It would just cause issues during long sessions. Now, I have been eyeballing Long Tubes for a long time. I just worry about clearance since my engine is lowered 1/2 inch. Ethanol and my current mods have me very happy right now.

I love more power but for me, since it's a street/road track car (way more street) I find I can rarely even use what I have. I think I'm getting old.

i can see your point. same situation i am in. cars sees track twice a year usually. mostly fun spirited driving. trips.cars shows. i just want my car to sound like a fighter jet on a runway

Go with a Magnuson. It will save you a little money, and it's been a trouble free system for me for the last 6k miles. I modded my sound tube a bit and you get a nice "whine" similar to the twin screw systems.

i love the sound of a procharger with the big red race valve. would be bliss matches with my corsa

I honestly can't imagine going back to NA. FI is just incredible fun. It is a pay-to-play kind of deal though. Can get pricey quick.

If I did it again I'd probably go whipple..or invest more in real estate. Real estate isn't as fun though
