There is value in the enjoyment of running the ported 1.7L for however long one enjoys it.

You didn't factor in the cooling of the blower.
AVG $600 heat exchangers $379 to $899.00
AVG $1200 Extra capacity tank bumper, fender or trunk $600 to $1800
Maybe FI chiller $1,900 (recommended 2.5 - 3 gallon tank w FI chiller)
kong porting shipping $2,000
103TB $650
DSX flex kit to run e40 to e50 $400
Meth Kit $1000
Headers- Wash you need on both setups
Cam- Wash you need on both setups
Fueling- Wash you need on both setups
Heads- Wash you need on both setups
CAI- Wash you need on both setups
Personally I believe You can make more with an oem TB on a 2650 vs a ported 1.7 having a 103mm TB would you do this of course not but money factor argument sake lets see the cost difference.
1.7L route:
2K cooling mods (fi chiller & reservoir or Exchangers and Reservoir)
2k Porting the 1.7L and pulley's
650 TB
DSX Flex kitor Meth $400/$1000 won't add to total just for grins)
$4650.00
$2650 Route:
Magnusson 7k
- 1.7L Sale 2k
$5000.00
$350.00 its a no brainer (based on 850 to rwhp) the Magnusson will do it on all 93 octane Once you factor DSX kit or Meth injection your spending more money!
