Then again, with my mods I'm lucky if I'm at 170-175HP @ shaft (20-25HP above stock). But nevertheless, it's held up just fine and been really good to me.

First off - 15 psi inside an engine is hell. Especially when it's not built for it.
Second off... it's a huge turbo. Read my profile. I was making well over 300 whp.
All I'm saying is, the motor was taking a LOT of extra strain. No matter how you add it up it was under a LOT of stress, be it by power, pressure, etc...
The engine isn't a bad little monkey if you take care of it - they just have crappy bearings and a bad oiling situation....
Don't try to skule me, mofo.
