Why would you buy an SP20 to gain 10hp??? And then the SP20 has suspect rods at 210whp, whereas the 1.8 will produce 200whp without breaking rods and will still go harder since it revs higher.
200whp is 200kW at the flywheel! Now, would you rather sit in a poxy 10 year old Nissan from Japan that's sat on a boat for months and maybe even gone for a swim sometime in it's life, or have your nice Astina that's with more mumbo than any other new 4cyl car under $60k?
You could look at from many angles, $20k car with $7 added to turbo, and you're still taking out WRXs over the 1/4 mile... Now how much did he pay for the rex?
Just throwing about some ideas.
