Depends on how much money you have to spend.

😁 well yes you are right, since the engine alone costs a lot, I was thinking of a simple change of the compressor pulley, to increase the revs and the pressure, in theory the engine should hold up since it is a forged engine anyway , and that the increase in power is 50% from the power of the original engine

I don't know what level of boost the motor runs right from the factory.... I do know that there are overdrive crank pulleys, as well as the smaller pulleys for the blower itself. (more boost.) Might need to go to larger injectors, and a custom tune will be a requirement..... Can you get 1500 reliable horsepower though? I think that would REALLY be pushin' the envelope. For street driven motor, it's already way over the top.

Well, it comes with a warranty...... but, how reliable it is is likely going to greatly depend on what you put it in, and what you do with it. Grandma's daily driver? It'll last forever.
