I am in a terrible dilemma, I am suffering from an irresistible urge to buy a Turbo. Is there some sort of self help group (a bit like Alcoholics Anonymous) that can talk me out of my craving :bounce:

I fear that I may be putting my marriage at risk if I continue down this path :)

You have to weight these things up carefully. A quiet life at home, or that grin plastered across your face every time the boost kicks in!

Sorry there is just no hope once the thought has taken hold.
Lovely though the S is there is just no comparison - I'm driving one around currently (an S) as a courtesy car whilst my turbo is having a bit of work and whilst it is perfectly suitable for the daily commute and drives surprisingly similarly up to 3.5 K you then wonder what happened to the fireworks afterwards. I shall be pleased to have mine back.

On the up side now is still a good time to upgrade cars - there a some nice looking (I stress the looking bit) turbos on the market so go looking. But you can't go back....
