ONE rod bolt gave out and kaboom. Pretty much the whole motor was cooked. And the WRXs have great blocks too. The issue I'm seeing here just like everyone else is cost. A "big" turbo is going to run 5-6 grand at least. Safely chalk up another $8-9K to reinforce everything else and now you're looking at 14K just to get there. And thats on the low side I feel. I'm all for uniqueness, but I'd rather spend 8K, get a Termi motor with a T56 and harness, grab the rear-end from a GT, and call it a day. Port the piss out of everything, full bolt ons. And you'd have money left over for a Kenne Bell and make more than you wanted originally.</blockquote>
