I think you miss the point.. Throw the Turbo away and see how long the motor last for with regular sevices, I know NA motors now are lasting upward of 500,000km's, but the stock forced versions are hitting the rebuilds under 300,000, and the modded motors sometimes less than 200,000 therefore proportionally shorter life relative to increasing internal forces.

Hope that helps....

thats why i dont want big power anymore :P going to keep it nice n safe, lower boost, safe tune= longer healthier engine :)

well thats my opinion anyways

Still disagree. Your theory is based on the HUGE ASSUMPTION that the cars were treated/driven equally.

But in at least 99% of the cases a modified car is driven harder and thrashed more often then a std car, so this higher reving, more heat, etc, contributes to the shorter life span. Nothing to do with boost level.

I have seen a few stock rb's go give up the ghost at less than 100k, due to how the car was driven.

Then you got stock engines like Troy's (Roy) with big turbo, injectors, pfc, etc, making 270rwkw, doing track days, motokahanas, drags, etc, that never want to die.
