4 months with the kit as a daily driver. I had 2 minor issues.
I had an oil leak due to a faulty banjo fitting that works promptly fixed at no charge. It was something new they were trying and did tell me to keep an eye on it which I did. The fix was to use a different fitting. I believe all new kits will have the new fitting.
The other issue I had was mostly my fault. I live on a hill and have to be on boost as I come home. I wasn't letting the turbo cool properly so a hose had kinked up and caused oil to enter the exhaust. I had smoke coming out pretty noticeably. Again a short trip up to works and they fixed the kink and put a clamp around the spot it had kinked up. That fix combined with me always letting the turbo cool 2 minutes before I turn off the car and I've been issue free.
I've been running e85 most of the time and I couldn't be happier. Merging onto the fwy is a breeze. Passing cars is no longer an issue. I haven't been to the track yet. I need to put in an oil cooler before I do that. Since my car is an AT, I have limited options. The turbo spools quick and most of the time, I have to let off the throttle b/c I'm going way to fast for public roads.
