Nice. How about longevity? Is everything overbuilt enough to withstand the increased turbo pressure and last a reasonable amount of time? 200K miles at least?

And in response to the original thread. I like the 617 just because it's so easy to take care of. No spark plugs or wires or any of that crap. Since there are no funky sensors to go wrong I know that it will start every morning. If it doesn't start, it is easy to troubleshoot and a random no-start would be unlikely. I would actually prefer a 560SEL/SEC though.
