I am tired of hearing about how bad the T4 engine is. I have a 2056 that is beat on everyday. Still makes 140hp. I drive it in every condition known to man. I personally know of type four drag motors running 625hp consistently. I guess they must be some strange freaks of nature. The engines can handle it if assembled properly. If T4 owners took as much time and attention to detail as it takes to assemble a 911 engine then there wouldn't be as many problems with the 4 cylinder engines. What many folks call a crappy design is poor owner maintanence or care. I have seen archaic Chevys and Fords with several hundred thousand miles and I have seen type4 engines with the same amount. They can do it. Obviously all engines are different. Engines are compromises. You can't have 5000hp, 100k realiabilty and 50+ mpg. Not happening. Make up your mind what compromises you are willing to make and stick to it. Build accordingly and everything will be good.
