IMO, neither of those are going to help with increasing your engine's life.

If you want to change something to help your engine, look at getting a Downpipe, an aftermarket radiator, fuel filter changeand replace all your coolant lines.

the downpipe takes away a lot of the heat. It also eliminates the first cat right?

i have a blitz dual turbo timer, its great because it also has a boost reading.

Downpipe is for reliablilty!!
So if it's more reliable, then it'll last longer...

Yes the downpipe will replace the pre-cat therefore less heat under the hood.

Blitz ALL the way.

I would also do a search about turbo timers....many people feels that it does nothing to extend the life of the engine....

a DP I think is a must....also it WON'T smell up your exhaust, it is primarily there for cold starts, once your main cat is warmed up it should be identical to stock
