How long do evos last under high boost?

I was just wondering. I bought a 2003 Evo with 33,000 on it? How long do you think it will last under moderate boost if it was excellently driven and maintained? Around 25psi once I upgrade.

by 'excellently' you mean what?

that's a bit high, what kind of gas are you going to be running? 23 for daily driving is probably a better idea

just what i think

25 PSI is alot more than moderate boost. You might need to run alky or race fuel to keep it safe boosting that high.

25 PSI is fine with racegas or alky injection. If tuned right the 4G63 will last a lonnnng time.

Why would you need to up your boost if you're only doing looks and style?
