7psi here. Stock bottom end, upgraded valvesprings, pushrods & fuel system). Turbo's went on at 89k and just rolled 103k just over a year later. Street safe tune and running great! It's been on a few 1,000 mile weekend visits to NY and back. Still gets 24-25mpg on the highway and 17-18mpg around town.

Thats good to know that its working good on the long road trips. This is one of my big concerns for putting mine on. Granted I'd rarely go on a long trip, but I'd be running the same 7psi on stock bottom end and have it be safe.

Same here, 7lbs upgraded fuel system, cam, pushrods, springs, and the stock bottome end is holding up fine. Ive gone on a couple 800mi road trips this year with zero problems in drivablity and reliability.

that's my setup my uncles brothers nephew who put it together told me, he has built numerous 4 cylinders for the top engine builders in Nascar, and they just double them up and put them in the cars.
