there are plenty of EvoX turbo swapped RA's out there that are completely fine daily drivers. Bryan probably has the most well known BBX light (upgraded Evo X turbo) RA out there, and he's a daily drivers, IIRC.

EvoX turbo on a RA shouldn't be any less "durable" than a EvoX turbo on a EvoX. it's the same engine internals...

I've had my Evo X Turbo on for about 20000 miles with no issues. That includes a track day and a couple of mountain runs. Tranny is holding up fine as well. I've been using tunes from RRE and GST.

Ya, when you see the physical size difference between the two turbos it made me feel like i was sold on way less car.... but the extras on the ralliart premium pkg sold me over the gsr evo. i m still trying to figure out my first upgrades on my 2012 ra.
