Just needed a few Ideas on how to build up my 2.0 for boost. I'm sick of replacing stock parts over and over, time for bigger and better. I have blown my head gasket and clutch.
I know the RS model is not exactly a speed machine, but this is going to be my project car this winter. I also think it would be a great sleeper with its stock rs trim.

for the block:
i had it bored and honed

I also think it would be a great sleeper with its stock rs trim.
yea it would be a good sleeper, which is what i was planning on doing, but then i put a on FMIC, a HKS BOV, and a external WG that i vented, so it kinda defeats the point now! :biggrin: but its still fun when people come up behind you and start to rev their engines until you rev it once and they here your BOV, and the look on their face: PRICELESS ;)
