Re: most miles on a boosted engine? (roadrunner)
I started off with 150,XXX, to 170,666(I will never forget the last 3 digits) It ran really really stronge till the last mile, the reason it blew was cause of a bad boost controller. I am trying to post pictures, but I cant get it, but when I can I will post the pic of the melted piston.

I sent a spare B18a block to JG to have it done, and thats what I will be using in my new setup listed in my sig...

Re: most miles on a boosted engine? (Tinker219)
nice guys! I boosted at 99XXX and am at about 103XXX now, since August...I don't drive it too much 
Hopefully it will last a couple more years until I get out of school <--Poor.

Re: most miles on a boosted engine? (fredtoast)
I put my kit on with 126,XXX on the odometer and I now have about 127,9XX... I plan on keeping the boost low for reliability...

My GSR has stock internals and a Greddy kit. I installed the kit at 128,000 miles and currently have 142,000 trouble free miles. My wife drives it every day.

That is mis-information. A car is as good as it is treated. I hope this thread changes your mind about what you said.

I agree. It last as long as you take good care of it. How dedicated are you? Change your oil, tighten those bolts, add good fuel, check you lines and hoses, and eat your vegetables. etc..
