Default Turboing d16a6

do you think that i will blow my d16a6 with some mild blow by and a compression check that the points were 10 points within each other, i would throw a t25 2nd gen., hf manifold w/ adapter plate, side mount intercooler, greddy bov, running 10psi, 450 dsm injectors, custom downpipe, chipped ecu. the motor has 160K but i was told it was rebuilt but i am not sure about that. so does anyone have any opinions on me doing that setup, i am not sure that i will blow the motor, if you dont think i will blow the motor how long do you think that the life span is with 10psi

whats the meaning of life?

who knows, it could last 2 yrs or 3 days.

but having ecu chipped will definatly make it last longer providing u know what the hell your doing.

i have an a6 with rhb5 turbo at about 8psi (turboedit tuned) pushing 160k already. believe me i beat the living shet out of this motor. it holds pretty damn well i must say so myself. and if u blow it i bet ur phone bill cost more than a new short block anyway. as the others said .. boost the bitch.
