of course. anything that increases power decreases engine life. it may not be by much as long as you aren’t trying to run anymore than 10 psi of boost.
I wanted to add that a turbo timer would help to greatly reduce this also. It will keep your car running after you take the key out for a few minutes to let the turbo cool down to normal temp. This way it won’t warp.
Probably, yes. But if the turbo is not installed to run on high boost pressure alot, and is otherwise taken care of, it should be fine. HOnda makes the best engines, so if you’re gonna do it, that’s a good place to start.
Good Luck.
I am not sure that is totally does. Adding a turbo to a higher mileage motor could cause problems, but I had an Audi 200 turbo with 300k miles on it when I got rid of it. It still ran great (it was fast as heck) but needed a new clutch. It also depends on how you drive it. Turbos typically encourage harder driving of course.
