Turbo reliability
Hi i just purchased a 95 civic ex with 98k miles (got it for 2500 and its pretty good condition too) and was wondering how long would the car last under boost? i plan on getting pistons,rods, replace old headgasket, get some arp studs, and a new clutch. I was wondering how reliable as in like how long until it breaks down on me after i do these upgrades and get a turbo in. By the way it's gonna be my daily driver, thanks!

RE: Turbo reliability
They can be reliable with a good tune. From what I have learned a good tune doesnt mean sitting on the dyno. You want to tune for everyday usage... not the small percent of the time that a typical dyno tune would yield.
Also, not running extremely lean or pushing more than 7 psi will extend reliability. All and all though, a supercharger will give you a lot less headache.
