When did you boost and why that time?

Completely stock till 10k miles. After that the car was put on jack stands and everything in my tag was installed. Ive been super happy for 2 years. No regets, watching $10k leave my savings hurt.

Yay I love these things except they show how much money I've wasted.

Bought car new in October 2015. November 2015 (5000km) I got full headers back catless system and dyno tuned N/A on 98 RON fuel (Aus). Cost was probably about $3k AUD

February 2016 at 10,000km I installed a Sprintex 210+ /SPS system, Zeitronix flex fuel and EcuTek tune by Delicious Tuning. Cost equivalent to about $9K AUD

August 2016, 20,000km I removed Sprintex and installed an SME Borg Warner EFR 6758 kit. Once again flex tuned by Delicious Tuning. Cost equivalent to $9k AUD again (though I bought second hand)

I boosted because MOAR POWAHHHH. That was pretty much it. The opportunity was there, I kept reading these damn forums which have all this delicious info about all these forced induction kits and the bug just bit.

I spoke to my dealership here in Aus and hey have said (because they love my car), that they are happy to cover basically anything short of a window in the block

About 4000 RPM.

Oh.. you mean the car.

20k Miles and 2.5 years later. Warranty almost gone-ish and I had a kit laying around

Boosted at 14k. Figured I'd rather live with boost from the start than regret not having had it longer near the end.

Have 60k on the clock right now and after I do some scheduled maintenance in the spring, I'm going for it. Will prob be around 65k at that time. Hope she lasts.

I have 25k now. Un-boosted 1k ago. Boosted since ~6ish...k. Bought used at 3k miles with a void warranty.

Boosted because power. Un-boosted to go in a different direction. Also because of the possibility I'd have to sell. Not selling anymore, so now it's decision time again.

Life is too short to wait for warranties. Boost it up.

Bought car in Feb of 2015, 18k miles in Sep 2016 boosted with FBM. I waited because I wanted to get my wheels, coils, exterior parts mods first as stock looked boring. It was a difficult trade off because I hated the stock power.

Boosted at 2k Miles, Went from a Sprintex 210 to a 335 to a Turbo. If i could go back i'd do the turbo again.

Warranty is a joke. The upgrade planning is hard

[DJCarbine]

I put the supercharger on at around 3500 miles. Pretty much planned on FI but wanted to get a feel for the car NA.

34k --

Was always curious about FI, but didn't want to pour tons of money into it only to want to upgrade to a different car in the future. Saw a for-sale post come up for the phantom electric supercharger, and decided to pull the trigger on it. Seller sold to different buyer, and the letdown/building-excitement-for-FI pushed me to look into the Innovate/Sprintex SC. Ended up finding one for $2k shipped, and installed myself. After tune, total cost came to around $2200 (sale of my OFT tuner offset the cost of the ecutek license and a bit of the tune).

Now i have usable mid-range power in my DD that has made me reconsider long term ownership of the car. I'm the sort of person who might jump ship when something more interesting comes out, but I have no debt on the car, and FI changed my perspective on everything. I don't have tons of power, but i'm not worried about reliability.

I chose to go the same route. FI is in its future.

Just make sure your not cheap and you have a good solid Ecutek tune. 250-300hp out of a 2.0 in 2016 isn't adnormal or pushing alot. A bad tune will kill anything.
