DAMN :shock: thats shocking man... maybe thats the price of 19 psi of boost.

and whats with the fuel economy and 2.0 engines?? you need to put a turbo on that engine and for sure rrfpr and big injectors and go racing...i say the hell with fuel econonmy man!...get a 2.0 and turbo it and you will kick ass again but keep it at some 7 psi or so this time.

Well the 1.8L is basicly the same block as the 2.0L and it makes nearly as much power so I don't see any reason why you shouldn't put in a 1.8L.

Also figure more power = more fuel no matter what you do.

not always true
somtimes the best thing to do to get more power is increasing the efficancy of the engine.
whythrow more fuel, if ur not using it well
ill go for a 1.8 and use every drop for horse power losing very minimum!
a 1.8 to 1 2.0 barely has a diffrence
