If Daryl see's this he'll likely respond. He has tried 2 different kinds of turbo's on his 2.1 Syncro and found
them unreliable to maintain. Nice performance but didn't last long IIRC. The engine just won't tolerate much
in the way of boost, compared to the "new technology" engines, like his current Bostig Zetec Turbo, or a
Subaru 2.0.
