Hey man I wasn't trying to scare or discourage you about the build.. I just meant as far as long term reliability goes, its a risk you have to be willing to take. I mean, that comes with the territory when you are going to be making almost 50% more power compared to stock. I guess thats why a good rule of thumb when going boost is to have an emergency fund set aside just in case. Know what I mean?
