I think a turbo is really cool idea on a 2.5. shoot i would want one on my 3.5 (and why just 1? y not 2?)
But then reality sets in, cost of the build, problems, and you can go fast like 2 or 3 times before your engine falls appart.
I don't think you should even get the bolt on's if your going to upgrade to a 3.5.
basically, your 2.5 is loosing money every second your own it and you could put that bolt on money as a down payment for the 3.5
just my $0.02
sry, for the depressing truth :couch

Technically a 2.5 saves you money every second you own it. Because mpg.

The VQ handles boost quite well. But eventually upgrading the motor is a good idea.

It's the transmission (CVT) that does not.

There is only a few MPG difference between the 3.5 and the 2.5, unless your driving thousands of miles a day i'm assuming the depreciation of the car will be faster than the difference in MPG
