They have to warranty this thing for what 4 years 60,000 KM or more and they used exsisting parts from a disel to keep costs down. When the Magazines put turbos on stock engines and crank up the boost how long do they last for? The turbo matrix lasted about 4,000 miles and 10 months before self destructing.<P>If you want, slap on an exhaust and bigger intercooler, it will add more power and more reliability because of less intake heat and lower exhaust back press and EGT.

Tis true, seen S2K beat N/A 300zx, what has more torque, zx did, what had more hp? S2K by 10 horses. Anyone else ever lift a S2K hood, very light.
