BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just kidding; I know you will have both of them, especially with that "discount"!
Well mine is running strong, still. It now has 99,100 miles on original engine and turbos.
I run it at 13 psi with a Power FC. Not too shaby!

128,567 on original motor and turbos. 100% stock. Coolant seals have crapped out on me and its ultimately my fault. Anyone with a plastic AST whether original or replaced should change to an alluminum as soon as possible. If I'd done that like I was thinking to do, I'd still be running my FD. I've already begun removing the motor to rebuild, just waiting on my micrometer to get here so I can check for housing warpage.

went to almost 92K then blew a coolant seal, but that was due to my hardheadedness. I didn't replace the AST it blew and so did the seal. compression is/was still very strong even at 92K it just blows coolant steam out of the tailpipe.
80,000+ on a stock reman (courtesty of Mazda at 56,000 original mi). This is a daily driver with thoughtful mods and 12 --> 15 psi... I always drive it hard but do not abuse it.
