Probably not.

Got my car back in '12 and immediately boosted in early '13. I still have my SC on and driven over 160k miles with the car and 140+k miles while boosted. I can say, I was the lucky ones to have the engine last so long until my valves took a dump. It still runs, but sloppy.

However, looking at all the money I spent to get to 312whp ($10,000 for 130whp gain) and the constant issues with throwout bearings failing and worry of other drivetrain components, I'd rather go with a platform that is boosted from the factory. If I wanted to go to the next step, I'd have to do an expensive engine build for forged internals.

For comparison, I picked up an Evo X, placed $3,500 in it and have 390whp(+140whp gain). Stock internals are good to about 500whp, stock transmission can hold up to 1000whp, stock clutch can handle 400wtq. All that is needed is a larger bolt on turbo to reach the 500whp.

What I'm saying is there are plenty of other platforms to make cheaper, easier power on. Twins are a great platform, but a huge headache at the same time.
