The only thing that makes me hesitate going FI is that 10k can easily turn into 15-20k with one failure. The engine blows, then you're building the engine since it's out (why not). You then turn up the boost since your new engine is rebuilt to handle the extra boost, so then the tranny goes due to the high torque loads. Soon you're out 20k+ and you have a loud car to DD (with likely a squealing transmission due to the reinforced gears unless you have lots of $$$).
