To machine a batch of say 5 would cost almost as much as to machine 20 (not counting material of course). Basically 20 is the minimum number I have to sell in order to make it worth my while and keep the price where it is (and plenty of NASIOCers bitch about that price).
There's somewhere around a "Ga-Jillion" pre-'02 Imprezas on RS25.com that are running turbo swaps, and I'd say at least half of them are running FMICs. It may be worth your time to at least drop by over there and see how much interest you could drum up... Could be big $$$.
