Default whats longest your stock block turbo gsr lasted? / help with setup

what turbo did you have, how many pounds, how long did it last, and what went wrong with it. Wouldn't hurt if you mentioned your driving tendancies after boosting.

im thinking of running some sort of precision turbo in my gsr (any advice on what internally wastegated one to use on my t3 manifold?) . I plan on keeping the block stock. Don't plan on boosting past 8 or 9, 4-5 daily. I've never done any engine mods to my car other than intake, and nothing leaks. Oh it's got 69k miles. Say I only drive it hard on occasion, watch my oil pressure or temp gauge(which you think is more important?), get it tuned, and make sure all the fuel is going to it, you think i can make the car last another 100k miles?

i had 55k on my 18c1 when i added boost, i ran 8 pounds for a while and was very happy. then at 80 i decided to rebuild for the **** of it, engin was still good. you should be fine for at least another 50k or so. but i dont know, try it, see what hapens.

There is a guy on here, who was one of the first turbomafia people (pretty sure his name is MarkC). He's had a drag kit on his GSR for a very long time.

Sorry about not having much info...

I just hope He sees this and posts...
