parts compatability

I dunno a whole lot about building n/a blocks for turbo use. What block do you have?

You could always do an n/a build like I'm going to. 25D block, ej22 heads, some porting and cams. Makes for reliable power. Not really too expensive either.

 
Then save for a turbo motor and do it right. Don't try engineer a POS block into something it was meant to be. Save your pennies and buy a wrecked bugeye or something. He'll complete bugeyes are stupid cheap money these days.

 
I'm not sure how much of that thread you read, it was shown to us in chat already. They had a lot of custom parts made and it would need to be the same block and about the same mileage on it to get what they got. If you had a leak down/compression test done on you block and it came out decent then it may work. It will cost you a penny to buy all that stuff. To do a low boost turbo on a 1.8 it costs $1500-$2500. And those don't need any internals.

 
I read all 42 pages . they only had the pistons machined because they didnt use sti rods. if you use sti rods everything bolts together .I don't want 680 whp . this just proves that you can boost a ej25d or ej251 to 20 psi with sti rods and pistons with good tune as a daily driver and have no problems. HE GOT TO 50 PSI BEFORE IT BROKE !

Just because you can doesn't mean it'll be reliable.

It's all about the internals and ENGINE MANAGEMENT.....aem fic controller. Youll be rebuilding the majority of the motor anyways and if done right it will last along time. A conservative 200-300 is all you'll need for street use. It's been done and it's proven.
