buy a real ej20g frontcut from an imported gen1 legacy.

it all bolts up and is an easy swap.

Dont bother trying to turbo your high compression ej22. It will last for a while if the motors good, but it will eventually go pop costing you more $$ in the long run for a less-reliable, and probably less powerful motor.

front cuts cost about $1800 but vary a fair bit cheaper and more expsnive.
