I've been running around my condo holding my supercharger making boost noises, I estimate I'm making somewhere around 600rwhp and my dog has seen me do numerous hard launches from the living room to my office. So far I'm a bit tired but theres no signs of compression loss and my leak down is consistent at ~8% across the board. I've sent out a urine sample to blackstone to examine for any metal shavings/signs of bearing failure. In conclusion everyone needs to chill out.
