What would be best?

Hey guys how goes it? I was wondering what would be best for me? I when I get my silvia I want to put a turbo on it, nothing big or anything just something simple and get a few more numbers out of it. What would be the best for me?, just a bolt on kit and whatever else I would need so just wondering what you think would be the best for me? Im gonna be getting a 02 Silvia S15.

You live in the United States, right? There is no such thing as a Silvia in the United States and the S15 was NEVER sold here. 1998 Was the last model year. The S15s also cannot be legalized.

No Silvia can be legally registered in the United States unless its registered for offroad use only. I'd like to know how and where you're getting this Silvia from. Are you a professional race or drift driver by any chance, with a trailer to haul your car around on? Those are the only people who would have use for an S15 in America. Your best bet would be to get an S14 with an S15 front end.

well i know about the offroad part, you can basically have any car registered to be offroad. seems like this dude just wants to randomly by a s15 from florida and call it a day.

Exactly our point. It would be cool as hell, but is it worth the risk of it getting taken away? Just do a S14.5 swap.

Um, the police, when they take your car and crush it. But if you actually do get it more power to you. Does the one you're looking at happen to be white with gold wheels?

if he gets the car registered (no matter what it costs him) they can't take it from him. Whats the big deal?!?! People down here have plenty of rhd skylines imported from japan registered on the street. I'd love to have that just so when I do get pulled over the cop would walk up to the passenger side door lol...I'd be like...I wasn't drivin!
