Message	People need to consider why they are failing as opposed to how many. Stock motor can last a VERY long time.. well because its stock. It produces power within parameters of acceptable stress on internals. Now I don't know about you guys but I don't know many people that have built motors and stock turbos/boost. With Increased Boost/Additional Mods comes increased stress and with increased stress comes decreased longevity. Its as simple as that. If you have a built motor with stock turbos, stock boost then Im pretty damn sure it'll outlast any stock motor. Of course when built by a qualified and experienced builder.
