FP Green (old skool or new skool), BBK, ef2/2.5 are just that imho. I have always chose turbos based on how easily I can get them fixed if/when they blow up...My BBK I chose because CBRD used to have a 1-day turn on rebuilds (maybe they do again, idk)...FP was always horrible with several month wait times....but now we have such an epic resource locally with MAP--just bring it to them and with enough beer and some good timing I bet they would practically rebuild it while you wait.
Still though the turbos I mentioned above are fantastic...no need for BB, they are small enough that the lateral loads are low enough that the things will run forever and ever as long as you don't try and run 40psi on them. I ran my BBK at 33psi for idk, 30k miles? I don't remember...then sold it to mrfred and he's put another 30k on it pushing it just as hard.
Just keep oil in the thing and be contentious about warm-up/cool-down along with regular boost leak tests and no reason these won't last.
Still, I have BeaterX with an EF4 so maybe this car stays STS...time will tell I guess!
