If you increase the HP that much you need to upgrade everything.
Transmission, drive shafts, clutch, etc.
If not, you'll always be breaking something.:banghead:
It would be cheaper to buy a new SI in the long run.:wink:

I'm starting to sound like a broken record.....
1. Mileage doesn't mean shit...the condition of the engine is everything. One of my close friends has a boosted 212k mile D15b.
2. Horsepower depends on a lot of things...the engine, the head, cams, turbo, exhaust and intake manifold, exhaust size, injector size, engine build, fuel type.......etc
