engine is good for plenty of boost, but you need a better fuel system to run much more than 5-6psi

Just do what Directfreak and Dys85 is doing. Swap the motor with a 13b-RE or a S4/S5 turbo motor.



Off topic question, was the GSL-SE motors six port? I never even looked it up.

I thought it was, but I did not want to take a stab at it in the dark.



Jose- Are you asking if you can turbo your -SE N/A motor, or just asking what is needed to do a full turbo swap?

Have you tryed www.ebay.com they have by far the cheapest (used) turbo FC parts. I got a S4 turbo and manifold just under $100 with no major shaft play or cracks!!
