LS VTEC TURBO LIFESPAN

How long is the life span on a LS vtec motor? I'm thinking about going with a LS block with a b16 head and a garrett T25 turbo... is it possible to get over 50k on this setup? or what is the lifespan on a b16 motor turbo? the car wont see much driving time... because where i live is across the parking lot from where i work... not even a 2 min walk... only time the car will be driven is on the weekends and will be getting about 50miles or less... of road time a week... thanks for the help guys...

Setups don't have lifespans. How long a engine lasts depends on your knowledge in forced induction. If you have to clue of whats under your hood or how to maintain and tune it properly. Then its going to be a long bumpy journey for you.

I deliver pizza in mine, 100 miles a day. Just don't go crazy with the boost or tuning and it should last for a long time.
