    That is EXACTLY what i have done. i have calculated the cost to be around 1600 bucks for a full on rebuild while still skimming on parts that don't usually break, so ill be good. once you have porting work done, that drives up the cost and getting it put together by someone drives up the cost.

    so in answer to your question, go ahead and save up money to buy a nice t2 keg that is freshly rebuilt. acquire the parts needed, and once that engine of yours pops, throw this new one in.

    think of it this way. The amount of power being output from the engine has a direct result in the longevity of it.

    250 horse power in a turbo car will have about the same longevity as a 250 horse power non turbo car. with the engines both being the same as the amount of stress will be about equal. the best thing to think about is

    cooling

    the more power output, the more power is wasted creating heat. this heat must be removed via the cooling system. normally its preferable to get an upgraded radiator as this will not reduce temp any as that is the thermostats job, but instead create a bigger buffer. temps drop faster and dont rise as quickly.
