I'd be interested to poll just how far the boosted set of motors have run for ?

as OEM's pass off an engine spec typically with a mix of looong dyno tests like 100hours at full throttle and full rev's or 400 hours mixed running

or the thermal shock test where the engine is chilled down to -10 deg C and then started, idlied for 30 seconds tehn given full power and revs for a minute then stopped and chilled down again - and this process repeated for 100 times

so to say that my motor has done 3000 miles on the road ( where you are rarely on full load for more than 10 seconds at a time) and then say these motors are fine boosted well...........

time will tell gentlemen, its too early to say otherwiseas I don't think anyone has put big miles on a boosted motor yet
