after considering you need the entire drivetrain, rear end, rear suspension, gas tank, and other misc things like wiring the extra fuel level sensor in it’s totally NOT worth it unless you’re damn set on having a rare awd spyder but now your spyder weighs twice what the average car weighs ---

It was only a matter of time for people to start messing with that. Is it that hard really to find awd’s? …no. Interesting article though. good little article about boost managment in the same site: [http://www.automotivearticles.com/Engine\_Management\_Choices\_for\_Forced\_Induction\_Setups.shtml](http://www.automotivearticles.com/Engine_Management_Choices_for_Forced_Induction_Setups.shtml) ---
