first of all im new to this forum and i have to say that i love it and i learn a lot here.

my question is , i see a lot of turbo ptojects here on stock engine and cr or only with hg , and i wanna know how long the engine can take it , lets say with good tuning around 10-13 psi (lets say tuned to 400whp) ?
how many cars here been used daily to go to work and things like that? and how much mile they done until now ?

i hope u understand my english.

maybe u didnt understand me..
i didnt talk about mpg .
i talk about the engine itselp how long it can take the boost and all of the extra pressure on the rods and the pistons.

It can last anywhere from 2 hours to 200,000 miles. It all depends on the quality of install, parts, and maintenance. Neglect it, and you can kiss your motor goodbye. Take care of it, check for leaks, keep the oil happy, and do regular maintenance, and there is no reason why your motor should go.

Oh, and it would help if you didn't boost 100% of your driving time.

i am coming up to 50k with boost on my current block. I just got some new stuff for my car and am making even more power now and the motor is still running strong! I am sure if you were to check leak down numbers it would be a little high, but i still have the same compression numbers i had 30k miles ago! Maintenance and a good tune will go a long way to keeping your motor running strong!

How many miles have people gotten with a low boost kit like the greddy turbo kit? Would think that the engine would last a good bit longer with an entry level turbo kit like the greddy no?

the Greddy has not been out for long so you will not find alot of people with high mileage while using that kit. if your looking for entry turbo system stick with inline pro!!! they have been around for a good while and so has their kit. It has made great power and there is a route for upgrades unlike the greddy. dont get me wrong you can upgrade the greddy kit but you will be replacing alot of the kits components as you Start to upgrade (i.e. change the turbo and other parts will most likely need to be changed)

I am no expert on the greddy but for a turbo kit it is really lacking in my opinion!!!
