Message	6 years running race fuel and daily driving it at 20 PSI and the turbos were still good when I upgraded. I also have customers that have owed the cars since new with sport 500 and stock turbos for over 15 years that are still good that run race fuel regularly. Most of the time your not running this power and boost, it is just quick hits every now and again and they have proven over time to handle it.
