Forced induction

Hello, I am new to this and I am wondering a few things. First, I want some kind of forced induction (leaning toward turbo, but maybe a CT S.C.), and I want to know what components need to be forged, what type of cooling sys will I need (oil cooler & intercooler? or just intercooler), and can my transmission handle that? Will I have to move to MT? Also, does anyone know anything about Replace motors? its a brand of rebuilt motor with the sleeves bored out...if I went that route, what kind of longevity can I expect out of the motor? I love this website!!!

Bro, click the link that thisaznboi provided. It is his own personal journey.
he even states stock block held 7psi which he bumped up to 8psi. He states is using stock fuel system with rdx injectors

I gathered all of that by just reading post #2

You're better off boosting the manual TL. It's not only faster, but the transmission is much more stout and you won't have to deal with the very tall 4th gear in the auto transmission, which when you hit it, it'll kill your ability to go fast.

There's a joke around AZ because of the 4th gear. People joke that once you hit 4th, Priuses will be flashing their high beams at you, wanting you to get out of their way because you're driving too slow
