I bet now he's beating himself up for fully building the head first and not the block..i mean if he was all motor maybe he could have gotten away with that for a bit longer but you live you learn..like i said before, still rode the fuck out for what it was..

I'm half way there and my motor is still holding up well.
I do realize I might need to replace or upgrade the turbo before then, then again maybe not.
There are lot of old 850R's out there still going strong after 300K with motors that have never had to be opened up. A few people on my favorite R forum getting near 200K with the original turbos and no oil consumption or other engine issues as well.
We modified volvo folks are more known for breaking trannies instead of engines, lol.

Hmm, I see this as a reminder that while its possible to get some good numbers in the short run with some high strung setups, what does it matter if can't stay together for more than a few hard runs?
My 2.5L puts down about 300 to the wheels through AWD and runs 20 lbs of boost all day long AND it should hopefully hold together well past the quarter million mile mark.
What's the good of any amount of power if its going to blow up after a few runs?
