I'm pretty sure the motor in your own car was never meant for boost but is very successful when boosted to say the very least. Not sure your point.
Other than maybe our low psi builds, boosting an 11.5:1 $25k motor on stock internals (despite how well the S54 is built) is not ideal. Slap a turbo with huge psi on a stock N/A Scion to attain 350rwhp... Get the popcorn. It's just a matter of time.
When they come out with their 'STI' version down the road, built for a turbo (like an N54)... Different story. That's my point
