Also with an MT be careful of OC(oil consumption) the engine tends to have that issue where it burns quite a bit of oil and unless under warranty you won't get a new engine block.
VQ is not boost friendly? Says who? Please explain

OP please note that the oil consumption issue is only on 2005+ models with manual tranny. However 03-04 manual transmissions did suffer from sh!tty synchros

Weak rods for starters.

And there's a few with the non-revup that have replaced their engines because of the OC issue.

I guess depends how much you're boosting. I know many guys running Booster Performance bottom mounted single turbo kits at 8PSI with over 400whp+ for many miles and going strong.
