you mean build the engine so it can handle over 10psi?
Yea, what you would get depends on how much the setup is.

You'd probably want to get it sleeved, forged rods and pistons, and a turbo cam (and valve springs and retainers).

well, what would be more accurate to say is HP wise how much the engine can handle, not necessarily psi.
but yea, to get your engine to handle more than ~200-225HP (which i think is a good number for stock internals' limits) you'd need to build.
not sure how much it would cost, never personally done it myself.

I plan on doing it eventually, but that'll be a while. I'm about to start saving for a GReddy turbo kit and the extras i'll need (intercooler, gauges, wideband, etc.), and i'll sell the e-manage it comes with and just get Phearable to tune my EPROM in my chipped ECU. (I'm close enough to Tampa to where that's probably where i'll get it tuned.) I'll run it within my stock internals limits, and i'll buy a JDM d15b longblock/LSD tranny and build that on the side and once it's ready i'll drop it in and get it tuned again and up the boost.
