    considering its high compression, then yes i would AT LEAST run a thicker head gasket and head studs. but you cannot run BIG BOOST on that setup, the sleeves or the pistons will break.

    why do you want a big turbo, people just dont get it. i want to SPOOL at 6000 RPMS and have to shift at 8200! but i got a big ass turbo that makes 350whp :lame:

    Thats the only way to do it, big laggy turbos, and actually shift at 9000 rpm, full boost at 5500.
