Turboed engine longevity question?

Spotted · Post by **Spotted** » October 25th, 2003, 8:46 pm

I've read a few posts about turbo charged engines and I've noticed that most of them have not lasted more than 5 or 6 months.
Is this a problem with turbo charging a 4 cylinder?
Also, I have a 1.6 4 cylinder DOHC.
What would happen if I was to install a turbo on this motor?
I intend to change the tranny, it's auto.

most problems arise because people don't know what they are doing. they tend to go the cheap route and then wonder why it blew up. most tend to cheap-out when it comes to tuning. they run too much boost, with too much timing, and not enough tuning.

you could always buy my car...it's all set-up...the right way. oh, and i'm serious about buying my car.

My car has been running boosted for about 7 months with no problems. Its all about fuel management baby!
