Default Turbo Bracket Car????

Hey guys, I am wanting to do a 5.3 turbo build in my car that I bracket race mostly. I am thinking nothing radical, just maybe 10 psi or so. My question is can a mild turbo car be made consistent enough to bracket race? Ive got a buddy who has a low mile 5.3 that is drive by cable that he is wanting to sell. Should I just hold out and go with a N/A 6.0? I really want to do a turbo but it want be worth it if it cant be consistent.

Consistency is all in how you set things up

Check out the link below, as well as the videos that go along with this, and/or do a search for "bump box" on youtube. For bottom bulb racing, this may help quite a bit. I always questioned whether you could make a turbo car "repeatable". It seems that this could help BIG time.
