the only time you'd really want to venture over is if you need a rebuild- other than that, same yourself the premium and go to any shop for bolton/maintenance.

just my opinion. hope this helps.
what about engine swaps or turbo chargers?

engine swaps locally? mmm tough call, but i'd say satffs.

as for turbochargers, one off custom? no clue since you'd need tuning after.

just go w/ a greddy.. anyone can install that.
