Im not planning on racing or taking the car on the track and overall I drive fairly calm. I would just prefer to have that extra power when needed.

Parts don't generally break or require extensive maintenance, but that does happen. Things also need fine tuning which requires a knowledgebase of what has been installed on your car. I doubt there is anyone on this forum that installed a turbo or supercharger kit in a day and has not messed with it since that day. It can be things like belt/oil replacement on a supercharger or wastegate/bov spring changes on a turbo kit. It could be a small boost leak and needing to tighten a clamp on a coupler that isn't accessible unless you can remove your bumper. It could be an exhaust leak from the downpipe or turbo manifold. It could be an oil leak from your supercharger unit. It could be something arises that is completely unrelated to installing the turbo/sc kit, but because you did your warranty is now void on the engine and you will need to troubleshoot it yourself. Things like CELs and ignition coils or direct injectors failing.
