Plus you're better off keeping the 135iS stock since it was a limited run build, and a little more rare than the 1M.

Stroker really doesn't make sense as it further limits how fast the engine can spin. What you want is to sleeve the block, allows higher rpm and a longer power band, leading to more power with a bigger turbo installed.
