Also, for the cost, you might as well boost it. It'll be far cheaper and easier, and just as reliable, but with more power

Oh, and yeah I know boost can do significantly more instantly and for chump change, but the engine was designed for NA - and I dont know how many engines we will be able to say that for anymore.

Apart from very expensive sports cars, practically everyone is moving to boost, including the next 86. I'm ok with getting just 40hp of extra NA power, slowly over time, even if it costs me a for bit.

Fun fact - this is the most powerful production NA boxer 4 ever made (for all that we lambaste it, that's actually impressive given the emissions requirements). To be honest I'm not sure if that will ever be broken because of the way the world is going.
