So where do you expect this information to come from? I am nearing 10,000 miles of forced induction on my car with no direct injectors issues. There is never going to be a point where you can say that adding forced induction is 100% fullproof. If you can't afford to rebuild your motor or fix any damage that may occur, then it is probably better to pack up your turbo/supercharger kit and sell it to someone else. The point of this thread is that just because everyone and their brother on this site is "hearing popping" now or thinks they have this issue doesn't remove the fact that there are a bunch of us who don't have that issue and are enjoying our forced induction cars currently.
