i'm a little leary of forced induction ever since my STI cracked a piston
at ~40k miles.  it seems like the obvious steps of forged internals
(pistons, rods, crank) are easily skipped to keep the price down.

the longevity / durability probably depends on a couple of things ... forged / cast internals,
compression, boost.   the STI had 300 hp available with 15 psi of boost.  that,
combined with crappy cast pistons was a recipe for doom.  car went from
using essentially no oil to 1 quart every 1000 miles ... that was my signal to
move on to something less stressed.

The design seems a little incomplete with that fairing still on there...
