Turbocharged KA24DE wear and tear - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm wondering, how much wear and tear does a turbo kit cause on the engine?  I know a turbo kit would wear out the engine even faster, but by how much?  I'd definately know that you're supposed to run 92 octane ...or at least I think you should. It would suck to have a turbo kit and then having your motor blow out on ya in a couple years or so.  I'm just wondering just for future references on boosting around 7-8 psi daily or even less.
