How long: ~12,000 miles
built bottom end or not: Stock H22A4
Daily driver or not: Daily Driven
Problems so far: Nothing related to the turbo install
Turbo/Power Level: BorgWarner .60/.70 T3/T04E @ ~5-6 psi, never dyno tuned, but I'm guessing 220whp.

Re: How long have you been boosted...problems? (96BLkGSR)
About 10-12k with two 1000+ miles roadtrips
stock d16y7
Drove it everyday including winter
I had no problems with the car until the overboosted and hit 20psi.
Motor has since been rebuilt with forged internals.

Re: How long have you been boosted...problems? (96BLkGSR)
98 integra JRSC'd.
How long: approx...91,000 boosted miles (around 7 years boosted).
built bottom end or not: stock
Daily driver or not: daily for approx 4 years, not my daily anymore (because of: traffic and a extreme clutch + thieves + a good deal on a daily beater).
Problems so far: Cracked the intake manifold once (replaced under Warranty). Burned the IAT sensor once, replaced the metal tensioners when the newer kits were upgraded. Replaced belts more times than I remeber....mostly out of maintenance, and replaced a loose bypass valve when the manifold was off.
No complaints, of a decision I made approx. 7 years ago. I've been wanting to switch to a monster turbo set-up for some years but if it ain't broke, and I am, why fix it.

Re: How long have you been boosted...problems? (96BLkGSR)
How long: 60,000 (about 3 years)
built bottom end or not: No, then yes, currently on 4th motor (Dart-block monster-motor)
Daily driver or not: yes
Problems so far: Blew up a couple of motors. One ran lean, busted all the pistons and ovaled out the stock sleeves, the other had a boost controller problem, ran 30+ PSI, got some preignition and melted the pistons. Lost about 6 head gaskets, destroyed a GT3071R turbo (all the bearings fell out and ran down into the oil pan). Destroyed the final drive set in the transmission. Many other minor things. It has run >400 WHP with >20 PSI of boost on my built B16, but am currently running a bit over 300 WHP with 8 PSI from a JRSC kit on a Dart-block motor.
Engine Management: AEM EMS (tuned by JDogg)

Re: How long have you been boosted...problems? (bluemax189)
F22 B1 (94 Accord EX). ALL STOCK block and head- Boosted it at 143,000 miles.
Boosted for about 2-3 months (3000 miles)- It is my daily driver. 265 WHP-273 TQ @ 10 psi (need a damn 2.5 bar MAP).
T3/04e 57 trim stage 3 wheel, .48/50 ar.
Tuned on Crome Pro.
Car runs like it came stock from the factory boosted..
Only problem so far is snapping the front motor mount in half (the steel motor bracket- no tourqe here-J/K) which in turn kinked my oil return line (smoke everywhere) thought I blew the damn motor, or burned up my snail, had to redo the return, and fab a new front mount out of a stocker, grinding it down, and gusseting the ****** with plate steel. feels much tighter now.
I do see axles in my future though...

Stock B20 block

Problems: Bolts kept coming loose on the damn downpipe, thats about it. That car currently is no longer boosted but is still running on the same motor.

Re: How long have you been boosted...problems? (96BLkGSR)
How long: Just crossed 10K on this built motor, lasted 12K on the first build
built bottom end or not: GE sleeved LS/VTEC, manley rods, Arias pistons
Daily driver or not: Every Day
Problems so far: Runnin with just a mesh screen and no filter = I destroyed my turbo and did some damage to the pistons, bored it out from 81.5mm to 83mm and put a new turbo on it with a filter this time.
I just got back from a road trip where I had 3 other people in my car, two snowboards on the roof rack, and put 1000+ miles on it including some hard highway pulls with no issues
