Known faults with engines, problems after 'mapping', forging, huge (improbable?) power outputs etc. etc.
We've seen many threads on here.

I used to own a mapped corsa VXR, absolutely cracking motor and very capable. Sold it on over a year ago, the guy says it hasn't missed a beat! I'm fairly sure a good map, along with regular servicing, not ragging it, proper cool up / cool down procedures etc would help to prolong engine life
