If you get a good conservative tune and keep on maintenance, using it for a DD is fine.

Yeah but how many people actually do that. Well the smart ones at least. I know too many people that boost their cars, don't do any maint or supporting mods (cooling and such). And then bitch to the company when their motor pops.

Guy on here Niztalgic, has been running his supercharged Nismo as his daily for a years now. Pretty conservative tune I believe around 440whp and he romps on it pretty often. Not that he doesn't make quite a bit of money and has plenty of vehicles to back up but he's never had any down time since the install.
