b20 /stock sleeves + turbo = trouble.

you would think with the natural torque of a B20 vs a B18 that turbo would be a better option. but you'd need a stronger block

the block has thinner walls due to large bore size. The b20 already has reliability issues when hitting higher HP. You gotta rem that the lower block was never designed to handle that much power.

Not saying that it can't be done, i'm sure with enough $$$ you'll be fine, but a regular b20 no go
