Just my 2 cents. Good luck with the kit Sasha, hope to see some around South Florida

I'm tuned at 431 torque right now. I've only been driving it for a week but it hasn't blown up yet...lol!!

Mine held with over 400tq for at least 12k miles and it was an AT7. It's all about how much you abuse it.

How u treat the car also plays a role in it. That being said I beat on my car a lot actually. More before when it was brand new and the power made my adrenaline pump. Now I still beat on it and go to certain street hang outs for street racing but not as often as before. My motor has held up strong so far and I have absolute peace of mind when I turn my car on. Sees full boost everytime.

With a good install, tune, and a responsible right foot this car will go a long way. Now if ur bumpin off the rev limiter and hittin full boost from one red light to the next, nothing will last you.

Of course. Hell my tires didn't stop spinning even when the car was turn off when I first when FI. As time went on and buying tires made me realize I needed to chill out. Plus after awhile, the thrill wears off.....a little not much but just a little.
