I have been boosted for 6 days
I am using a custom mapped ECU
I get about half the mileage I used too
On the highway it gets what it used to

1 1/2 years. Been through 1 motor, had an FMU, AFC Hack, and now Hondata with 720cc injectors. Standalone is the way to go. No more problems. Boosting 9-10psi daily and 14psi every now and again. Going to tune 20-22psi next season. 25mpg around town and about 28mpg highway.
