it can be done with a smaller turbo, but mini-me and boost usually don't go well together.

d15b7 rods are weaker than d16 rods.
boosted mini-me's have very short lifespans.

All motor isn't too practical on a SOHC in terms of bang for your buck... Boost is where your best HP per dollar is at.

A mini-me is great for adding a little more HP and keeping reliability. perfect on a daily driver :thumb:
