hmm, 20k to get it to 400-500hp at a reliable level? I usually dont play tuning scenarios out but lets say you get the motor from Rotary Reliablity (close by shop, supposedly top quality work). 13B from them with 3mm ceramic seals and hayes o-rings, pretty much the works for 5500. That 13B running on the stock turbo should last quite some time with those kinda upgrades. Upgrade the turbo, run higher boost levels, and the motor should stay intact for up to 80k miles if properly maintained. What do you think? Sound over optimistic? A couple of the guys on the forum have over 100k miles on the original engine while others have burned them out after putting only about 3k on. Sounds like it has to do a lot with maintanince,
