Talk to a specialist - Mark at Lateral Performance in the UK will give good advice.  Where did you get a 2.2 block from - I'm not sure of the history of this block (was it only offered for turbo applications with a closed deck?), but I know the CDB EJ22 is now pretty rare.

Yeah and seem to go for around £700.

Did you buy this block after Murray ?
 
Closed deck is in the 22b's and very hard to come by. The 2.2 NA legacy ones still hard to find and these are open deck but lot easier then closed. Running 18g turbo and FMIC and mappe etc etc say around 355-370 mark these are fine and safe.
 
Think there was a leggy turbo which had the closed deck ej22T aswell. As above very hard to find.
