I have about 7k on my Innovate supercharge IIRC. Problem free for me. I also do not beat the living hell out of my car, and am ridiculously tedious with it, which is something many people need to be when applying boost to a car thats not meant to have it.
I agree. I wouldn't say I beat the living hell out of mine, but I get into boost almost every chance I get on my hour long commute to work each day. I don't want to make it sound like it was a set it and forget it affair though. I am not running on a basemap and have spent the time and money to ensure my tune is running properly. I have all the tools to monitor my car and ensure it continues to perform properly. I have had small issues like a coupler blowing off and have added parts like the FBM radiator and oil cooler to make sure the car runs properly. I still generally believe this motor is very forgiving and can take a proper amount of boost, fuel, and timing for a long time and many miles.
