Did exactly 20k miles in it since I fitted the big turbo. That includes about 5 or 6 track days, some road rallies and lots of hooning about. But tbh, only driven in fair weather, never held at high load for long periods of time and always warmed up and cooled down. Other than that, it got abused.

Yeah, most of it's life was spend at 26/27psi which made between 180 and 195hp depending on which rollers you believe. Only at 35psi+ would it make 210+hp and the pump was flat out at that. The most I ever saw was 219hp and that was with revs hanging, fuel starving at the top and turbo way out of it's efficiency range - to be honest, totally undrivable.
