Just throw my JE pistons in my 2.0 and you'll be fine bro!

But seriously those 2.0 make some awesome power but you will need bigger turbo and those injectors your gonna get opened. Go 18G bro, but a 20G will kick some major ass!

My 16G has no lag on that 2.5, maybe a little on a 2.0...not sure never had it. No matter what, get big enough injectors so that they won't limit your turbo size.

Cam's will make the most difference on that 2.0. Check out Brian Crower cams, I've read awesome reviews!

p.s. Thanks for your help today. I've decided not to get reflashed until after the break in period since everything is running smooth.

you guys are squirrels lol. The stock 2.0 EJ20 block can only sustain 14 psi. Over boost it and ur block is done.... I see it every day at work. So rich kid comes in with his over boosted STI talking about the knock that hes noticed or how his car doesnt have as much power as it should because the compression is all fucked up....word to the wise with boosting it, build your block up before you turn it up. All that money you pay for aftermarket parts and the costs of tuning and crap, just buy a built block with a stroker kit in it...Now your cooking =)

psi is not the same as cfm. I have seen stock 2.0's have 450 bhp, with supporting mods. A turbos vanes will vary the amount of CFM pushed into the cylinders and depending on the heads you have you can only hold so much before something gives. The point is go with something that is tried and true. Dont be a shallow hal.
