i am getting a star stage 1 and will hwave a fmic and oil cooler soon foloweing iam going to run 5psi if i dont beat it up to mutch about whats the longest my internals will last its a 1999 rs with 45k on it? an estimate would be nice

well if ya keep the boost low and with that low of mileage(assuming compression is good) should last at least doulbe your mileage if you take care of it and specially if you get an intercooler later.

We cant answer that question. For all we know it could be an hour of 10 years. Its all about the luck of the draw cause everyones car is different in some ways. Intercooler will help your chances though along w/ keeping boost low.

depends on how well it's maintained, just make sure you car runs fine. All those extra goodies IC and oil cooler will help it run long. Just make sure you do proper maintenence and PROPERLY install that turbo kit. Heh 5 psi eh well that's about all you'll run until you put the intercooler then you'll run bout 4 PSI due to pressure drop. Hehe then you can get a boost controller on ebay and up it like I did for 20 bux. :P

You go Turbo...you're gunna blow the shit up eventually. Unless you build the bottom end. May get lucky like me though, 11,000 happy miles with my HRC stage II system.

Have fun!

Yeah it will blow eventualy. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day it will blow. Its inevitable. Just hope it lasts untill you can save up for the rebuild. Mine lasted about 19,000 miles and then it just gave up on me. But now its going to be one tuff engine!!!
