you would definitely need a very strong block. and the very, very best internals. a lot of tuning and dynos. very well tuned air/fuel management. and if you don't want to remove all body panels, but perhaps some, a carbon fiber hood/trunk combo. ditch the spoiler. ditch the ac. all new pulleys, cams, lifters. very good i/h/e. perhaps even a tunable ehuast. lighter wheels. ditch the spare and jack.

i dunno how much you wanna dump into it, but boring/punching the block, maybe up 100. that would give you about 300 more cc's and a wicked bottom end, with more torque. maybe make up for the turbo lag.

and if you put a wet no2 system on, it wouldn't hurt, if done correctly (if that's your thing. i hate no2)

good luck, keep us informed
