It isn't "turbo" friendly per say. The GE block has no oil squirters and a higher compression then the GTE. People in the IS community generally compensate by changing the headgasket (which you do not mention doing) OR take the correct approach and swap the GTE bottom into their cars when approaching the 500 mark. Why? The pistons are stronger in the GTE.

Not crapping on your thread.. just want the facts out there, and if you swapped the headgasket you should mention that.

when I am saying turbo friendly I am saying that this motor will handle more power then the average car with stock internals. This motor is very similar to the gte.. The gte internals drop right in.. IMO swapping the bottom end is a waste of money.. AND IF YOU READ YOU WILL SEE THAT IT IS STATED THE CAR HAS A 3MM HEADGASKET... SO IF YOU WANT TO TRY TO PICK THREADS APART MAKE SURE YOU READ THE WHOLE THREAD AND DON'T OVER LOOK ANYTHING.
