Do you remember who you spoke to at MMS? Seem's the information you were provided would have had more depth than "it will need a re-build"...

Yes the Version 6 is a EJ207, however it is semi-open deck, so not as strong as the later 207's. No reason however that it couldn't handle ~250hp however at 20 or so PSI..

Same with the gearbox. It is only a 5 speed, which to some people they think they are made of glass..... plenty of people run ~300hp with no issues.

My guess is it was more of a pre-emtive warning. You start modding your 13 year old car and things may break..... I had the same warnings when I modded mine. Do your research, do it once, do it well (and always know in the back of your head that something could pop when you start modding cars).
