Did he mention any downsides, mechanically, or anything? I've heard people imply there could be some trade-off in longevity...

Looking great! Keep up the great work!

radz28 ! Thanks! Greg and I actually talked about would there be any downside with X-port for my car. Basically there are none. Greg was great to talk to and he explain a few things I understood incorrectly. We talked over my concerns regarding: any issues concerning detonation, too high of boost, 93 vs E mix, heat soak/cooling and if there would be an issue having a 2.3" upper only. But, he was confident that X-port will be best for my build! It seems it will only raise the bar for what I can do now and down the road. The X-port will help my engine get a lot more volume of air that is currently what is limiting my boost and power now. I should be able to sustain the max boost my blower makes all the way through my RPM range with X-port vs seeing the boost fall off after a certain point. My biggest worry was maybe detonation (not sure where I picked up that worry from). But more so, I was worried about only having a 2.3" upper and stock lower. He didn't see any issue with anything I was doing or any of my mods! I'm crazy excited to get it back and get it back on the car! I'll take a ton of photos!
