Similar power.....er sort of, i'm really looking for mine to clear 500 on 1.5 bar and breach 600 before i run out of boost. It'll certainly see some abuse but ive been a bit more careful with bore size for the exact reason yours has failed.
My bore is only 15 thousanths of an inch thinner walls than standard, so unless you have sleeved your downwards, you wont have a significantly thicker bore wall. What diameter are your pistons?
If yours is going in a lightweight FWD nova, then it will never see the loads that mine did, so that may help you
