Just wanted a quick tally of people out there who've boosted their cars with under 5k mi on it. I'm building a turbo now for my 07 with 2100mi on it. Just wanted to see if anyone experienced anything remotely interesting, or what their outlook is on the car's longevity and reliability. (Much of this is in the hands of the driver, quality of the kit, and maintenance ). Anyone out there who just got their cherry boosted? LOL

 

I put on the turbonetics kit on my 2006 TC with 2500 miles on it and it now has 10K miles. No problems but I would recomend an engine damper to keep the engine and drivetrain from bouncing and wheel hop to lower the chance of breaking anything. Also i run 12lbs of boost no problem but that is in denver area where there is a loss of power anyway.

 

haha wow. 12 pounds, kinda a lot for a daily driver. but nice. im thinking about boosting soon, im still under 1k miles but when i do boost, im thinking ill be in the 2500-5000k range.

 

We have an 07 kit owner who turbo'd with 750 miles on his car and runs 10 PSI with our base kit, .63 A/R and puts down over 300 to the wheels.
