Maybe the block, but i've had at least ten different people who do K-swaps tell me the turbo has so much BS attached to it, only an RDX ECU can run it.

Why would you waste a bunch of time and money to run a stock turbo?

How much boost can a RDX hit before it blows? Might be nice to have a stout, larger displacement K-series block ready for higher than normal psi for a build and swap.

isnt the k23 a de-stroked (the correct term?) k24 for strength to a 2.3 for a stronger block.
