Hey guys, I've been lurking around this forum for some time and just couldn't find the answer I was looking for on supercharging a stock motor and its reliability. From what I've read this is what I know (please correct me if I'm wrong)... S/C is more reliable than T/C and better the tune, better the reliability.

So my question is, how reliable will a supercharged, stock motor, with a good tune, be for daily "spirited" driving? Now I know there are always the possibility of something going wrong, but let's say I don't spin a bearing or push a piston out the side, will it hold up?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Don't have a BRZ/FRS/86 yet, but driven the BRZ multiple times and already know I would like to bump up the HP in the future. (Also this might be the deciding factor on jumping on getting the BRZ!)
