the turbo will last just fine with a turbo timer and BOV. the engine probably wont last as long unless built for it. but you never know.

I wouldnt expect any turbo honda motor to last 50,000 miles.
I myself, l will probably play with the boost too much ( just like everyone else around here ). I dont really want my turbo'd honda to last that long. By that time I should have been able to afford a supra or something.

i could tell you this much... so far i have 17,000 miles on my turbo. i commute daily and i drive all over the place. its more of a maintenance factor that is relative to how long your turbo to last.

41,000 Turbo Miles on a completely stock 1995 Integra RS with Drag III since Nov 1999. Profec B set to 6psi Low and 8psi High. The car has a total of 102,000 miles.
Compression #'s are still good, 190+ psi on all cylinders.
