That's like asking how long do we expect your new born child to live. It all depends on you.

Depends on how you drive it and how well you take care of it. GSR motors, in my experiance are pretty reliable. They can take a beating and keep on going.

Well I was just curious. I heard before somewhere that turbo builds last only like 70000kms. And it's not like I beat on my cars. Just at the track

how long it lives depends on you, your build, and the tune.

even a stock motor wont last more than 70k if you beat on it all the time 24/7

if you drive it like a normal person and just get on it a little bit, have a good tune, and the build is done right, then it could last a very long time
