hard question to answer...

how much boost? what work is done to it? etc... just remember, any fwd car with a front mounted motor with high horsepower can be daily driven, but will offer varying problems. like excess torque on the rubber of your tires, despite the fact that they are the ones already struggling to turn the vehicle. they will eat tires like a bit (specifically where i'm from), have a tendency to be able to suck ass in corners...

then again, it should be "fast", but... iunno... i'd tend to say 'no', but as of my reading, there wasn't a list of how extensive the mods were, so i can't say

I'd say it would be reliable if done right. it's like boosting any other motor, if you don't boost too much on the stock bottom end, and if it's tuned conservately, then you'll be fine.

a boosted H22A in a civic and you might go through a bunch of axles, but I see guys with that swap all motor running 13's, so boosted you should hit high 12's, which is pretty quick :D
