    Hahah.
    This motor is on borrowed time. Its is a swap car, so its built off of an NA cast (not forged) bottom end with 160K on it. The guy who swapped it just added 2.0 turbo cams to the head and slapped a turbo, supporting ECU and fuel mods on it. Balance shaft delete, fresh timing set and OEM metal head gasket.
    At 300ish hp it should hang out for a while assuming nothing catastrophic happens (sudden loss of fuel pressure, burnt plug at WOT, etc)
    But, it WILL crap rod parts out the side of the block one day, I knew that going in. Ill probably pull all the goodies off and find a better, weirder DSM to mess with.
