Who's had turbo on their daily driven car the longest?
Just wanted to see... How much boost, what turbo and how much power it is making? Did you guys run into a lot of problems?

Ha, Autometer A/F guage and boost gauge. That's it. 3 weeks
But i do check the plugs often. And a compression test when i get paranoid about it

1 year 1 month roughly... about 40,000 miles (approx 120 miles per day) starting at about 5PSI, and now at 9PSI. No real problems overall considering the mileage... Just take care of it, watch and change your oil religiously, and research every change you make if you can.
It will be a very pleasurable experience!!!

Zc sohc = JDM d16a6 custom turbo kit.
2 years over 40000 kms no engine problems cooked a couple of clutch's a gearbox and a turbo. Been boosting 8 psi most days but have had it upto 12psi when wanting a bit of fun. Dyno'd 196 whp @ 10psi 170whp@ 8psi.
Probably hitting the dyno tomorow to see what it will do at 12 - 13psi. Hopefully not blow up

H22 JRSC, 1 year, about 9000 miles, first at 6 psi, now at 9 psi. Yes, I know it's not a turbo.

Re: Who's had turbo on their daily driven car the longest? (ekb18c)
Ive had mine for just over a month...I drive like 350 miles a week and don't forsee 6 psi being a problem for daily driving (knock on wood). I don't boost much anyways.
