Re:turbo
Driving your stock, dealer issued car down the damn road it will still break. (Just look at the WRX tranny problems LOL thank god I didnt have enough money for one)
Yes pushing the limits of an engine's strength are going to reduce the life...but as long as its properly tuned (especially with a stand alone ecu) and doesnt have like 250k miles you shouldnt be the one to see the end

Re:turbo
Me an my fellow racers follow the racer rulebook for turbos, here are some excerpts, follow these and your engine will last forever!:
- For every lb of boost, add one led lighted accessory.
- Spinner hubcaps help to decrease turbo lag, necessary.
-vinyl Nismo stickers on a Honda will help when trying to honor a Nissan warranty claim.
- get as many headers as you can, the more the better.
- if you can't afford a turbo, the sound simulator is an acceptable substitute.
- "powered by KJHDKLJSFHK
LDJHGDK" stickers will extend the life expentancy of all bearings in your car especially the muffler bearings.
-buy only PepBoys brand headlight fluid.
-big fake plastic intercoolers work waaaay better then a real one, because they are lighter.
-if you paint everything in your car red and yellow, you can get Ferrari to sponser you as well as McDonalds.
-smaller fuel injectors are better cause they are lighter and you get better gas mileage.
-add 1 foot to your spoiler for every lb of boost and your car will reach altitudes of 40,000 ft with ease.
Just follow these simple steps for engine longevity under boost.
