I heard if you change your balance shaft belt then you should be good.

500whp is fine with the stock internals and some have over 550whp (just search around).

I think 500whp daily driver should be very reliable provided the car is tuned correctly and some failsafes are in place

500whp on the stock motor is going to take its toll, so don't kid yourself.

there is a thread in the turbo drivetrain section of all the 500whp evos with stock blocks. Why dont you go in there and ask? Also there have been numerous evos with over 500whp on the stock block running fine. However, not too sure how long it would last.

I know of two cars locally that ran 35r turbos on stock blocks. Both ran 30 psi on meth. One lasted 15k the other 25k. Both were around 475whp.
