what..? the exact same bits as when you're doing to to an EJ20..
I have had plenty of experience with Subie engines in pieces.
would you like me to take some photos of that for you..?
ok, so you say the rods are weak as piss.
then there would be no way i'd be turboing the thing and expecting to stick 18psi through it with the stock rods and pistons in place.
So without pulling the engine, we're back to boosting an un-opened engine.
you could turbo it in situ and manufacture all the piping, intake, intercooler, etc
but thats still going to cost you the price of the S/C kit by the time you add the turbo, injectors, etc and you're still going to be limited to 7-8psi (these aren't low-compression 202's remember)
so for all that effort, you may aswell have just bought a bolt-on S/C kit. that will give you the same result on an unopened engine as turboing it, in a fraction of the time...
