Forced induction sounds great for this motor, but not when it will impact or accelerate the deterioration of the DI seal.
That is a loaded question since every kit from CARB legal to custom tuned supercharged, turbocharged, or even NA setups will all be at risk for that failure regardless of what you do with stock or FI setups. As for accelerated failure of DI seals, the rate is still going to be the same or possibly slower. Tuning appears to have some effect on decreasing DI failures, but we noticed that changing the way you drive in a performance setting also cuts down on the failure rate too.
