AQ151 is the stroker 8 valve, AQ171 is the stroker 16 valve. You get into a somewhat iffy area trying to turbocharge one though. I think (but could be wrong) that the stroked penta motors use longer rods and shorter pistons, so you can't use ther Volvo pistons. This is an issue because you need some dished pistons to drop the comrepssion ratio down to use with lots of boost. Which gets you into custom piston territory. And whatever pistons you use in the 16V will need those valve relief cutouts.
