Re: to build or not to build, how much boost can i run.

What are your goals? Are you planning on over 400 hp? Then why wait to build it until later? I'd just do it now while the engine is out. My two cents on an engine build: stroke it. You are already going to be putting tons of time and money into it, like $300 more for a stroker is nothing compared to what you'll get back in return.

Build on hold until I get a good paying job, either in school or once I get out. At that time a full tear down and complete rebuild should be in order.

only diffrence between the non turbo 4g63 and the turbo model are the oil squirters. I would suggest reading the www.vfaq.com & 1000 allready answerd questions section if you havn't allready.
