hey there i was wondering if anyone out there has bored out the ga16de to say 1.8lts and then turboed it. i was thinking of getting this done with forged pistons and conrods. could the block/cylinder head handle this. if so what other internal parts would i need to upgrade

i just rebuilt my GA16 the pistons are very tiny and the block isnt thick at all even IF you managed to bore it even 10 over you'd probably be close to 1.7L and at that point the block wouldnt handle it structurally
