I still don't think they ruined them by turboing them. Emissions made them gain weight, so they did what they could to bring the power back. What "ruined them" was the zx's soft luxocruiser suspension (the 280 and z31) , but a few mods and they cut corners like a scalpel, and they're old enough now you can scrap the strangling emissions devices on them . And the z32? That thing is amazing. Until you have to work on it lol.

I personally think the twins are fine as is. The fun of a lower power good handling car is that you can get on it and having the fun handling. Handling is always fun, but high power can rarely be used. I think fix the torque dip, and what people have shown with basic n/a mods (cai, header, exhaust, tune) looks to be a d@mn fun car.

That voids your warranty. A factory turbo in an off-the-lot car would not. It's a very good and legitimate reason to not go aftermarket.
