Default Blob JDM STI with a closed legacy block?

Hi all,

I came across a JDM STI with a closed deck legacy block with forged internals and also they converted the twin scroll feature into a single scroll Borg Warner rotated setup (with twin scroll headers and uppipe turning into a single scroll if that makes sense). The power it is running is around 500bhp and is capable of more as is it running about 21psi atm.

The question I have is would the legacy closed block be a advantage compared to the ej207 semi-closed deck block? Would the legacy block have any impact on the spool or other features that the ej207 offers?

Cheers

CDB will take a higher power potential/pressure before any potential issues...................

Great. Will the difference in the engine block mean that any other features will get affected? Like AVCS?
