    Would anyone be weary of this meaning the driver would have no idea or knowledge of what engine temps it was running throughout it's life?
    It's lasted 15 years with that turbo on it so I wouldn't think it's doing much damage if any.

    It will be fine. They were very conservative qith those setups.

    Yep can you see I'm still paranoid?

    I still clench the steering wheel with a shaky relapse moment when I need to put the foot down or driving up a big hill in this engine.

    Looking like this bloke!

    Might've just bought our new company car but realised VicRoads now have a 14 day rwc policy!!

    At this time of the year it's going to be fun!
