Daily driving it isn't a problem. High horsepower custom built turbo setups will never offer maintenance free operation for thousands of miles, especially when being pushed hard. There are so many components in the drivetrain that will be strained that you will probably always be fixing something. Josh's car is perpetually evolving and receiving various upgrades to make it 'better.' I think it is just the nature of that particular beast. If you're building the car for the 60+ mph roll racing that is popular today, either legal or illegal then you probably need your 1000 horsepower to partake in today's automotive equivalent of a d*** measuring contest. If that kind of racing isn't your main concern you can build a much more reliable engine that is easy to drive on a road course of autocross.
