Superchargers & Reliability?

[Simmoyo]

No need to build an engine. I too am in the hunt for a turbo kit - most probably the one posted before in this thread. I have contacted suppliers overseas, and they have advised that it is not neccessary to do so. There are a whole heap of FI s2k owners on s2ki that run over 400whp on the stock engine. Some even said that they have even kept the stock HG.

Aus himself is running near that amount of power (correct me if i;m wrong mate), and he's running on the stock engine too. Just to be safe though, I wil be getting a hg, dual springs/titanium retainers from inline pro for a small fee ontop of what they quoted me.

Nice, what about an aftermarket ECU, petrol pump and exhaust? by the time its all done i'm estimating its going to cost around 10k. What I meant by "building an engine with your eyes closed" is that you'd have to be pretty clued up to keep the turbo running without damaging the engine otherwise it will cost more if you have to pay to keep it tuned and maintained
