I was wondering if the z32 TT engine with stock internals would be able tohandle a turbo upgrade?whats the maximum type of hp i can make with stock internals and still have a reliable car?

btw im leaning towards rebuiling my motor but i have driven the car daily for about 2 months with the rod knock and was wondering if the crank would need to be replaced in the rebuild or require more extensive work?and how much do new cranks go for?

the knock hasnt got ne worser than it was before.

When you rebuild the motor just have the crank checked for cracks and bends when you have everything machined.

As for turbo upgrades, you'd be fine with sport 600's, HKS gt2530bb's, etc. You can certainly squeeze 550whp out of a stock bottom end without any problems.
