I'd disagree on the turbo Honda thing. Of course poorly put together and poorly tuned aftermarket turbo cars are not going to last on track. Hell, most turbo RX-7's have trouble with reliability on track. But I guess since most people don't take the time to properly tune their cars, aftermarket turbo apps are for most purposes unreliable for the track. As a side note, we saw a lot of this in H1 last year: people going for big power but doing it wrong and grenading what would otherwise be reliable engines.
I think part of the reason you don't see many turbo Hondas is that there are plenty of N/A options to make decent power and the cars are light to begin with. Also, having much more than 300 hp in a fwd car starts to cause handling problems.
I would say don't add more power early in the game but its your call on how much you can handle. I bought Geeser 1 cause it had enough power to be a challenge and I didn't feel like I needed to upgrade it until I had been in group 3 for awhile.
