But if you're going with a turbo system, aftermarket tuning is a must anyways. And likely Cobb tuning will be the system of choice for ecu, which allows easy access to all perameters within the ECU. Cobb might even offer a standard map on their system that you can just load and go.

As for the pistons, with a boxer engine, you wouldn't even have to remove the shortblock to swap the pistons out. Its not much more involved than replacing the head gaskets. I guess to me it doesn't seem that involved, anyone going 300hp+ should be prepared for this type of work anyways.

To me the cost of all the parts and possibly labor for the install, likely needing complicated routing for the piping, would be the biggest issue for the average user.
