yes but it is not good unless you do a full motor build and can rev your car to about 9,000rpm the 2.0 just does not have the poers to really push it, go with a 18 or 20 G

From the plots I've seen on a 2.0 the Green comes on hard around 4300-4500. On a ej205 it might be a little too much, but on a jdm 2.0 you would have a nice powerband. You wouldn't need 9k, the green would fall off before that.

So you dont think the motor could handle it for long? Tranny probably couldnt either..

I ran a large turbo on the ej205 that fully spooled at 4600-4700 and it was fun but the powerband was peaky and on the 5 speed I was often out of it when shifting up a gear. A large turb on a 2.0 doesn't make that much torque so it really doesn't put that much stress on the 5 speed.
bingo on all points mentioned.
If you absolutely must, at least raise the rev limiter to 7500.
