Uh, I could be wrong, but didn't Chris Chow and Cal Hartline "bastardize" the GN's long ago by your own definition? I'm sure Steve, or somebody else on here can probably name a few more. But I'll assume they get a pass because of fame. RebalT was just tired of eventually pushing out head gaskets running higher boost numbers to make the car move. Now, he'll run barely double digit boost (still on pump gas) and have his car running harder than with 3 times the boost of the ol' V-6.
