I've just heard stories that vitara pistons heat up easily and cause detonation. Meh, most people dont know what the hell they're talking about anyhow

Thats good to hear. 400hp on 93 shouldn't be much of a problem then. I'm kinda worried about the power curve though. 400hp sounds great but I dont want only 2000 usable RPM. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with a GT series ball bearing turbo, I'm just not sure what size yet. I've found a gt2871R for $955 brand new and I'm pretty sure that'll support my power needs and have a decently early spool
