The washing machine will start leaking everywhere and ruin some drywall. The oven will -only- have 4 burners and she'll want 6. The window seals on the basement windows are letting bugs in, ew! Your microwave is old and the door sensor stops working.

Uh oh, gotta get the septic tank pumped, it hadn't been done in 7 years! OH NO, the tub's drain stop leaks water behind the wall in the basement and they didn't tell you!!! Time to buy car par- uh oh, she's pregnant!

This is low key terrifying.

That's great! Be careful not to underestimate your partners desires for a new house:

* complete landscaping

* all new window coverings

* all new furniture

* add central AC (unless it has it).

* painting interior walls (to personalize it)

* workshop benches, shelving, lawn tools, exterior lighting

* well, you get the drift -

Headers you also have runner diameter, which is actually important. I don't recall MCM saying what their runner diameter was.

OP, new question to help people help you, how loud are you willing to let your car get?

Wait are you talking about when they installed the new exhaust and got a tune? While it was still NA? It’s hard to dispute the power they made after the turbo install.
I think they had a high flow cat? I would have to go back and watch. With the turbo kit and full exhaust they made double the HP and torque. Without touching the injectors.
All that being said it’s just a matter of when, not if, parts will break. The FA20 is high compression and was never designed for a turbo. I like watching what’s possible with this engine though. And I’m sure MCM realize they may have to upgrade other parts later. Connecting rods, pistons, injectors, etc
