As the title says whats the pros and cons of going turbo ? ,
   i have taken my g of the road for a while and was gonna sort the chassis with a sub frame some new 256mm brakes and genrall renewing of bit n peices, i was then going to drive it in the summer then go for an engine overhaul n go turbo in the winter of the following year but ive picked up a reasonably priced turbo kit with almost every thing i need to go turbo so i may have to swap the order in wich i do thigs around slightly but i have a few turbo questions

  Firstly what are the pros and cons of going turbo, will it be ok to turbo my current 115k g40 engine without having a rebuild first? should i be looking at boring it and using foged pistons?

  Whats the power delivery like in a turbo , i was looking for a nice drivable power that i can drive daily good mid range grunt as well as top end power.

  Would my g need any other mods to handle any extra power the turbo could provide like a lsd , or would i be better of doing my chassis mods first to help handle the power then doing my engine i just got this turbo kit as it was a bit of a steal really, or should i be waiting any advise from anyone who has been alone this route with there g would be much appreciated thanks guys

Pro's...

good reliability, excellent tunability, awesome efficiency, no more engine parasite  Grin, free power.

Cons...

erm, if you like servicing stuff you will have to take up another hobby.

A G40 with a turbo and 130-150bhp would be really reliable and a nice daily driver...

Only con for me is, it's not original- but my car is a GT anyway, and I'm not too arsed about being OEM.
