Hello all,

I've done some research on FI and it seems like the consensus is that the weak point is the rods. 300hp seems to be okay for alot of stock engines but it's still a gamble. I have the money to buy a JDL turbo kit which is around ~7k with a tune and gauges but now I'm getting cold feet because I don't want to gamble my engine blowing up.

I've seen many people on here build engines but I get lost on the terminology. If I wanted to build my engine to reliably boost 7psi @ 280Hp 250 tq what do I change in my engine? the rods and the heads?

TDLR; What are the minimum amount of things I need to change in the engine to reliably boost to 7psi ?

I have a 2017 Subaru BRZ

thanks you guys for input!!!!
