BP, the yays, the drawbacks, the limitations and reliability

[Oyvindjs]

Hey!
I have recently aqquired this little beauty, and i want to give it that real "BRAP-BRAP"- rotary sound it deserves.



Rice, i know about your testings and findings of the stock ports, but i just love the BRAP-sound, and it sounds so baws when you see an oldschool mazda.

I know the bridgeport configuration is slightly less dailydrivable, higher mpg, tend to be "jerky" when close to idle coming off the clutch, and has low power down low, but flows lots of air, especially in N/A configuration. I want mine turboed.
Car is supposed to be a pure and simple fun car.

I have read abit here and there over the years about BPs eating seals due to the contact area between seal and sidehouse being too small and shortening the engine lifespan. Also, i have seen people having cracked the bridge from time to time. I do also recall people trying to fix some of the seal-eating by making the edges on the port less sharp?

expected lifespan on a BP is?

Please, give me the breakdown here

thanks
