If you had the fuel to go with it, 30lbs of boost would probably blow the pistons through the bottom of the block anyway! They are only gonna hold up to a certain level.

Ah, that makes sense. I wasn't sure if engine size was a factor. I always hear people saying that turbos are effectively "displacement replacers." I guess there has to be a limit though.
My goal is to get 180 horsepower and close to 300 lb-ft. of torque using a D24T block, D24 head and cam, T3 .60/.48 turbo and ebay intercooler. I'd need it to be livable day-to-day and still get decent mileage (25+ mpg). Is this realistic?
