Not to blow your bubble or anything here Tim, but...
Have you put thought in to WHY so many people go down the path of turbo conversions? This topic and idea (and many, many other daft ideas) have been covered numerous times before. Tristan is one of the only ones that has gone down the path of an NA conversion (that I am aware of) and quite honestly I would be disappointed with that result in return for the coin I put in. Sure, it's something different but at the end of the day you're only going to want to continue modding it and getting more power - I would be very surprised if Tristan is completely happy with his car now and is willing to leave it as is.
People simply don't bother with going the 'ZMONG superpowerful NA' because it is too time consuming, requires a lot more R&D and requires a much, much deeper pocket. For the money that Tristan spent on his conversion, I could have had a nice V6 STi cut dumped in mine and be pushing 200kW ATW with a few mods. I could also have found myself an EJ257 on the cheap (2nd hand) and shoved that in with some engine management. The list of choices goes on. With turbo and high performance engines you really do have the ability to get some decent power out of them without busting up a loan fatter than Manuel Uribe.
As many people have said before, you're much better off putting that coin in to a savings account and letting it grow so you can smash a nice turbo engine in there, or putting those funds toward a 'shopping kart conversion' that will allow your car to stick to the road like Celine Dion sticks to bad song making. In saying that though, I am sure others and myself can understand that when you want to do something - you will do it, and you won't let anyone talk you out of it. Having a unique car is a good feeling, and doing what you're setting out is definitely setting it apart from all the rest but just make sure you stop and think about it all, and about how you're spending your money. Remember as well, you are on your P's and having a 'highly modified engine' is in the same boat as driving a turbo or super-charged car.
ok yea i know i would be better off goin with a turbo motor and i was goin to go with a turbo in my car to start with but i was thinkin that there no way i can hid the turbo from the cops and that i was think pot the ej25 in there and do it up coz the cops cant see what doen in the motor so thay wont know if it doen up or not . and i wanna be different but doin up a n/a subaru
and if i was to go turbo i would wanna turbo my motor coz i like how the ej25 go in the top end
but yea i been try to some were that wont f**k me around n get no power my car
