How many miles on your car when you decided to install forced induction kit?
 
For those of you who installed turbo/supercharger, how many miles did you put on you car when you decided to install a forced induction kit? were you worried about voiding warranty? how many miles should one put on the car before feeling safe that there is not issue with the car?

Installed my Innovate at ~10-11k miles. Wasn't really worried about the warranty being voided after seeing how Subaru handled warranty claims on these cars thus far.

I had about 5k I think. I haven't seen my car in 6 months so I can't remember how many miles are on it lol

Ordered my turbo kit and supporting parts with 800 miles on the car. I'm at 2200 miles and looking forward to installing everything in the next couple weeks when it all arrives.

Love it! I had my FBM turbo kit at home before I got the car. Kit went on right after the 1000 mile break-in period.

I was at 6000 kms when I installed the vortech kit

Before going FI, especially if one has never driven a manual before, should I get used to the car? Or just dive on in and get used to it with FI? (I'm assuming the former.)

I would definitely get used to pushing the car stock first. Combine that with being your first manual...better not to mis-shift when you have a ton of toque hitting the clutch.
