I'm sure there will be a few that chime in with high mileage SHOs. As with most cars but more so on a SHO maintenance is key, if you are diligent with fluid changes and don't beat on the car when it's cold it should be relatively reliable. Bpd is on his original PTU even with the big power increase but he changes the fluid religiously. That being said turbo and PTU failures do happen Also timing chain stretch and the water pump is behind the timing cover so it's a big job and can take the whole motor with it if it goes so you have to make the choice to accept that risk. I'll be in the same boat in a few years but I usually grow bored with a car by then anyway.
