How many miles on your Turbo (Stock Internal)?
Hey guys is see that there are so many built motors here and I noticed that a lot of them did blew their motor or at least damaged it before the built
. Can you guys post how many miles you're running Turbo on your Stock Motor and how often do you go full Boost?
I wanted to ask how many blew their motor but that will just scare me on going FI, I need something positive.

Someone posted a few months back that he had 100k on a tt. I don't remember which kit, but that's pretty damn good.

Ok, I will prefer to exclude Shop owners because they tend to have more resources than average guy in terms of Car Maintenance.

9K miles on the turbo in 3 mos...three tickets in 3 mos....then put it into storage for the winter
There are some very good F/I options out there now days.......TUNING IS IMPORTANT as well as a thorough install.
