I was contemplating putting some FI on my coupe and was wondering on the longevity of the VQ on boost. Anyone with a decent amount of miles on a supercharged or turbo'd setup? If so, what setup do you have and what precautionary measures, such as internal upgrades, did you make? Thanks!

 

ive had my stillen on for almost 20,000 miles now,luckily no problems at all.had to replace the small s/c belt once.internals stock and i only use mobil 1.

 

Thanks! anyone else? Out of curiosity, how much did it run you for the total setup all the way to completion? Did you put it on yourself?

 

23,000 miles on ATI Procharger. One belt replacement. Stock internals. Conservative tune (7psi, 350rwhp).

 

TN kit, Almost 4k

 

Vortech 22,000 miles. Stock internals, no gauges (yet), Mobil 1 or Royal Purple motor oil checked every 1500 miles and changed at 3000 religiously. Changed out the bearings in teh jackshaft recently ($30) due to some bearing noise.

 

Greddy TT kit, 15,000 miles. Nothing to write home about yet so I'm a happy camper.

 

30,000 miles Turbonetics (50,000 miles total)

About 15,000 miles since APS TT install. Mobil One Oil, water injection kit, 8psi, ~420hp on stock block. Boost, EGT, and wideband O2 gauges. Daily driven to hell and back, I'm having a blast.

Good luck!
