Does the E6300 have the same architecture as the Conroe chips? If so it might be an option!
I was doing some thinking last night though and I'd really like to use the money from the cascade to put some rims on my ride and get it turbo'd. Bah, I wish I had won the lottery.

Horse poo! It'll just make it faster and give it a much better resale value!

Nothing wrong with a nice set of rims though.

Agreed. But it is kinda throwing money at something that you will lose as soon as it's on. Bit like PC's but on a bigger scale

Thort alloys can actualy raise the value of the car? Obviously not as much as the depretiation as it changes hands, but a little.

When selling a car, you recoup very little money that you've spent modifying it. Simply because most people dont want/care about the mods.
Also if you turbo a non-turbo'd car, its pretty obvious what you've been doing with it - ragging the sh*t outta it.
Note: Due to my Essex boi upbringing, i'd certainly not consider this as a reason not to modify a car. Modded cars roxxorz!
