Is it 22psi of boost on a k03 or a 106mm? This is a generic answer and really holds no weight. Go to a reputable engine builder, there are plenty around these parts.

I appreciate it. I designed it and had it built one off. If all goes as planned I'll have a 1300+rwhp M6 pump gas 2500lb street car.
