has anyone changed any engine internals like pistons or anything in that nature? if so any more power? just looking to do more without going the way of a turbo. or any other suggestions?

New internals will only be stronger than stock and will not make more power unless you are going above 2.0 liter or unless you add other power adders, like a new top end...

I heard the stock bottom ends will hold up to 400-500 whp.
What is your goal for the car?

Sorry, just noticed you have a GTS... I think the same would apply though. New internals would let you hold more boost...sorry not too familiar to the new GTS..

yeah i have the 2.0 gts. i am intrested in boreing it out but the cost of doing that may not even be worth doing so. but to turbo it safely i would probably need new pistons, maybe stock pistons from the Ralliart, I am kinda new to tuning cars, i used to mess with sportbikes. but if i do turbo it and do it correctly what all would be needed to build the motor safely.
