Default Well
they will work less to produce the same amount of boost, so they "should" live longer.

Only if you stick to sensible boost levels within their designed operating range

I would still change the oil feed lines so they have their own feeds from the block.

Default I forsee a T3/T4 in my future.....
I am pretty sure the K04's will last longer than my K03s did, but you never know.

Move the turbos top side, like SLVRBULLET.

Default Single turbo conversion? Yuck. Twin T28/KKK K16s :-P - now that'd be fun
T3/T4 is not practical for a street car (drag car wanna-be, sure) :-P That turbo is quite laggy, and I can see the driveline falling apart as soon as boost kicks in when you're running 28-30psi :-P
