Finn superturbos are said to last just as long as stockers, unless of course they blow up. The more extreme cases (like Sammuli's 333hp OM602) are disassembled, blueprinted, and ceramic insulated. Most of these guys make very sparing use of the extreme horsepower, and get rather shocking mpg in normal driving, frequently claiming 35-40 mpg for auto tranny W124s with six cylinder engines. Mauri H. is building one for sale right now, OM606, ceramic coated pistons and head, special connecting rods, high strength bolts in the crank bearing caps, etc. He's asking about $11k for it. If I had the foresight to buy that enginless AMG Hammer that Alain was trying to give away a couple of years ago, I'd be tempted to buy Mauri's engine. I'd rather have $15k tied up in a 500hp diesel Hammer than a run of the mill 500E.
