How much faster does FI wear out the engine

Same question as the title

That is a pretty broad question.How much boost/how high compression/heat exchanger/racing or street cruising/who does the tuning is very important.If it is done RIGHT it should have a slight effect on drivetrain longevity.If it is done wrong your car can last several miles.

depends on how much boost your running...a basic setup that you'd buy from a company won't take too much off the life of the engine, but it will make it shorter...I can't say exactly as my only experience is coming from a few years of hearing others talk about it, but my estimate would be 10-20% of the life of the engine would be taken off.

Where in NC are you?

can't a fully built engine last just as long as any other engine?, just that your engine has to be built to last to the boost your feeding it
