I agree w/ what they said.

The bottom line is that the SR is as reliable as any other well designed Japanese inline 4 turbo.  Actually, the SR has a reputation for being pretty bullet-proof, in the foregoing category.

Any turbo motor is less reliable (that's why they never caught on in the US).  But there is nothing specifically dangerous about a well cared for, street tuned SR.
