Message	as strong after a while. I remember early Japanese motorcycle engines were not good candidates for rebuild because the cases would stretch and deform and weaken. I wonder if turbo internals are subject to the same type of faults. It might not be measurable when the turbos are still, but show up at 20k rpm.
