i have 42k miles on my car and i'm about to swap my stock turbo out for a ported red and some other mods..
in your case you should be putting your money towards a built motor imo.... 2.4
the stock turbo is pretty damn reliable
how many miles you been running the meth kit for?

I see a few ppl on here with high mileage doing reds, black and two people doing a 850R and also a PT61. I am starting to feel a little bit better with doing a turbo swap to my car now.

Nice!
How much power are you putting down? (HP/TQ) I have notice that bigger turbos tend to be a little bit less aggressive in the TQ curve. Verse a stock hosing turbo. They spike so quick in the RPM band and so early. That is what I am worried about the most. Having so much stress that early on the motor. Isn't that what cause most motor failures?
