My advice Mux: If you are going to boost you have two options:
1. Stock 4A-GE on minimal boost..and I mean minimal, so you can get away with just a fuel pressure regulator and "maybe" a bipes unit or such. The trick is not getting power hungry..supposedly difficult to do with boost.
2. Any powerlevel higher then 150whp or so..ditch the 4A-GE. You are looking at ECU's, pumps, intercoolers, injectors etc etc etc..everything needs to be tuned by some overpayed monkey and you can throw away any notion you had about true reliability out of the window. A stock SR20 will be rock solid and pump out what you need. A GZE can be tuned a bit and do the same.

Just the typical Keep It Simple Stupid filosophy. Why start fabricating all kinds of stuff, when a 200hp turbo engine with all the bits you need costs just 450E?

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear
