I beg to differ. My car is quite a bit of fun for not a lot of money. My turbo build has a lot of miles on it over the last three years without any signs of detramental effects on the motor as of yet. You should see how I drive it, its a hard 15K miles. Idles smooth and steady, AFR runs 14.7:1 on the highway and 11.4-11.7:1 on full wot in all gears (ok, fifth is a bit on the richer end at lower rev's).
