Boost kills.

Yes, I'm doing it too. But I'm under no dilusion that running 1.0 bar on the 3.3t isn't going to significantly shorten its life. It is extremely rare for a 930 engine to go 100K miles bone stock without a rebuild. I expect to cut that figure in half with the mods I have. 650hp reliable out of 3.5L? Come on. You know better.

My main point was that I personally would be much more likely to actually drive a car long distances if it had a modded 3.3t vs an exotic 3.2 based twin turbo. The reason is simple. Parts availability and mechanical knowledge. Have a problem with your warmed over 930 and your hundreds of miles from home? Just find a P-mechanic or dealer.

Good parts don't always make a reliable engine. I've got a street machine in my garage with the finest parts that the good ol' boys can thow at it. Reliable? Any engine built on the edge isn't what I'd consider to be reliable. They're all one missed shift away from scrap metal, nomatter what the salesman tells you.

As for supercharging, turbocharging, or engine swaps, a project usually doesn't begin with that in mind. They take on a life of their own, evolving with the owners taste and pocketbook over the years.
I know I sure didn't buy my SC with the intension of swapping in a 930 motor. Hindsight? Yes, I'd buy a 930. Such is human nature.

By no means would I discurage anyone from modding their car and making dreams come true. You only live once. Reality checks are important though.
Your dream can easily become a nightmare.
