How much more expensive is it to run a Big turbo car over a standard equivelent?
In the ideal world where the conversion has been carried out to a high standard, on a 50k ish mile car (ibiza mk4/polo), running a IHI at 320 bhp and 470nm, how likely is it to bend/break rods, valves (or other expensive stuff) if driven resonably for 6-8k per year (no trackdays yet ?
How long before things need to be replaced as a precaution.
(I admit its a bit of a, how long is a piece of string type question, without even knowing the type of string, but any info would be appreciated).
