as far as I can figure, for the cost to build a good decent aftermarket forced induction setup on the 22re, you could put together a naturally aspirated motor with a bulletproof bottom end that'll probably have more HP and toque, as well as a steady curve on the two through the RPMs...

on the 22re anyway; that's not going to apply to every motor...

don't get me wrong, you can boost the $#!@ outta a 22re and get some good power, BUT, you'll have to modify litterally everything to make the motor handle the boost...
