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.
It would be cheaper to buy a new SI in the long run.

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

one other thing...if you come back w/ an Ebay turbo link, i'm never talking to you again....
