I know there are also a lot of variables to it, such as a tune (I'll be going to Mike from Moto East), the state that the engine is in right now (73k miles), correct installation of the kit, and etc, but is having an engine being blown out a common occurrence? Is it inevitable?

Can someone hit me with some facts, like percentages of cars with the engine blown, and etc to the best of their knowledge?

Hey bud,

For reference my BRZ had an avo turbo kit and I was doing 12.5psi towards the last year I owned it, I slapt it on the car as soon as it hit 2 months right after I bought it new so around 2,000ish miles. I would track it often and for the 4 years I had it I never ran into a problem. The ONLY issue I had was that my clutch starts slipping at 3.5K and would grab again at 4K so that had to get upgraded.

Also Florida heat so the car was in constant 90+F temps during summer and 75+ during winter season. I would say get a really good reputable tuner.

Edit:
Forgot to mention 93 Octane & Stock block
