i had a b20 turbo for 10,000 miles also had an awesome tune and it ran excellent. got rid of the car so who knows how long its going to last. the whole time i had it it was very reliable. as long as its tuned good it was last for a long time. got on it everywhere i went. car also ran 12's on stock b20 on 10psi. really wouldnt go over 15psi

It's all in the tune.

edit: And don't take any more advice from that friend.
