If I could go back in time I would've engine swapped A LONG time ago instead of wasting money on the FA20. If you're not happy with 200-250 WHP either engine swap or this is not the car for you.

41 days and counting. I'm not quite at the 1 year mark since I've boosted.
It's not about how much power you make, as much as how well you support the power. Obviously if you make enough power, things will fail, but with the right support, mild boost is very sustainable.
That top line makes peak power at just 10.5 psi, and is with a stock exhaust and stock (catted) front pipe. Efficiency > Brute force.
