    Since this was announced, I have been debating as to whether or not I want a dealer taking out my engine to replace the valve spring. 

    Pros: 

    New valve springs 

    Change the spark plugs at the same time 

    Change the engine mounts at the same time 

    New oil ect

    Cons:

    Taking out the engine to replace these springs could cause more damage then leaving the springs as they were especially if the repair has not been done correctly. If valve spring failures were common failure  in these cars and we were all talking them, then I could understand but apparently it only affects a really small percentage of cars.

    Anyone having this same debate? Anyone else thinking just to leave their car as is and taking a chance ?

    I have to be honest, now that I've had my N/A tuned '86 for 2 years, I wish I'd gone straight for the turbo. I know it's a much higher outlay up front, and the N/A package does make the car much more capable, it's just that for me personally the N/A package increase just isn't enough given how capable the car is elsewhere. It's not the right decision for everyone but if you have the money, I'd go straight for the turbo up front.

    I agree with you. I went down the NA route and now wish I had more power. i.e forced induction
