20vt

Dont need to change the headgasket, injectors and pistons. Although its debateable on what limit the 20vt pistons can take

headgasket = well all depends on boost level (1.6 sustained and it will go pop)
injectors = 280 - 300bhp (depending on how clean and fuel pressure)
pistons = 280 - 320bhp (cant take the power and just end up being holed)
