Forced Induction Reliability

JB-370z

Shoot I had a turboed rsx-s and it was a DD and I had no problems(313Hp). But then again I drive like a grandma! : ) I put 62,000 miles on it with the turbo and a total of 88,000 miles. I made sure I wraped everything to sheild from heat (heat kills the life of all components: liquids, plastics, rubbers, metals)! I never had any probs though. Just did regular maint. a little sooner than the avg.
Be able to monitor any changes in your system.
Most important (TUNE)
The most important factor after buying a "trusty" kit is a grade A tune. Then retune after every so many miles every kit is diff! You will spend alot of $ keeping a perfect tune. Its not just tune and go! I did a main tune and then 2 or maybe 3 retunes can't remember, but that was also do to adding in new components. But the type-s was very reliable. But all engines are diff so who knows about the VQ. But if you drive like a idot than most likely this thought goes down the drain.
