who apparently is oblivious to the amount of engineering that goes into a modern engine. Especially no credit is given to the software and computer engineering advances that allow these engines to act and adapt in such a versatile fashion.

I do not know what is the big deal when someone wants to do "something out of the norm" or not buying some "kit",of course it would work with no intercooler and an after market piggy back or ecu. Just do bigger injectors.I have seen people here do that with Hyundais Brio and Mitsubishis mirages they even get pipes done cheap at a mufflershop. Doesn't look pretty all but it works. For a low boost aplication it will be just fine. budget turbo the butt dyno is happy and so is the wallet.
