Pros:
More Boost, More power, More fun, Faster car
Cons:
More Boost, More Heat, more risk of engine failure.
In all honesty, I barely noticed any difference from my refined NA tune after putting the SC on with stock pulley. It was only after moving to 72.5mm that the car really started to be fun.
A lot of us here are running on high boost with smaller pulleys, or with the big bertha supercharger unit. I think it's safe to say that if you're careful and slow with adding power, you should be relatively in the green.
However this under no circumstances completely eliminates the possibility of complete engine failure. It's a risk you must have been willing to take when you installed the supercharger in the first place.
