I'd love to see a poll of people who regularly track their car boosted and how long their engines lasted. OP you are a lucky SOB to a a have your engine last that long. I think anything over 250 WHP and you're asking for trouble if you intend to do any REAL driving. I'm also pretty certain that peoples stock motors are lasting longer than "built FA20's" even at only 300 WHP. If I could go back in time I would've engine swapped A LONG time ago instead of wasting money on the FA20. If you're not happy with 200-250 WHP either engine swap or this is not the car for you.
