If you're going to go full bore wild, high psi, high N2O shot, the 2.5 will have a better chance of holding itself together slinging around the smaller slugs. Of course, if you have the money to buy a stronger crank, Ti rods, and forged pistons... 3 liter... bigger is better .




Also, doesnt the 3.0 have siamezed bores which could cause more heat problems under high boost?

IMHO (non expert), with a turbo even the 2.5 can make more power than you can get to the ground effectively (450 HP 2.5T Dutweiller engine) without MAJOR chassis/suspension/tranny work (ie drag car). Unless a drag car is your goal, why 3.0T?? What is a FWD car going to do with 600 HP????
