but my opinion is they have done this build correctly. Once of the biggest concerns with our engines pushing that much power/boost is if the pistons/rods/crankshaft will hold up. In this build they seem to have replaced all that, so as far as reliability (providing your not going WOT all the time) it should be fine. IF you notice they have also upgraded the clutch which is usually a sign that someone at least has a clue as to what they are doing. The only thing I really see as a weakness for this car is the transmission, but I am not horrible familiar with the transmission of a 9000 (I have a 9-3).
I you really want my 2 cent, I would say buy it! Just be careful that you are not getting a car that you will grow to hate. Many times cars that have been that modified (i.e. race springs, big hp tune). They often are really stiff suspension wise and have a trq curve that is less than ideal for street driving.
BTW, have no concerns about SQR, they do a good job.
Best of luck,
Justin
