Default Question for Lovefab users

How many miles have you put on it already? School is going to be back later and ill have money. What i was thinking is to get the lovefab kit but i know know how long will it last? I barely drive hard but i drive it everyday. SO i was wondering for all of you that have the lovefab kit how many miles have you put into it already and any problems yet?

I have a few months of everyday driving with a few thousand miles since I went with the lovefab GT1 kit. I can't be happier, the car is a blast to drive, but it was a headache to get it to this point, but once you work out the bugs and get a good tune you have no problems using it as a daily driver. The only problems that I have had since getting my tune finalized have been fouling out spark plugs (which was mostly during tuning or from not driving the car for a week or so) and rattles here and there, aside from that no problems really. I'm not really sure what you mean though about it not lasting? The motor? If so, then its all in the tune with a minimal amount of boost 6-7psi on stock compression.

I am running the mini-me version of the kit. I have close to 10,000 miles on it. 6000 of those was at 8psi the rest have been at 14psi with a 2mm headgasket. Other than some melted hoses (my fault completely) I have had no problems. I've been to the track twice and drive the car like it's meant to be driven...in boost

I was I think the first one with a LoveFab mini-mi kit and I have 12000miles on it in a year so far. If there was a bug, Cody took care of it and believe it or not, I still did not blow the engine ) I am running 8psi, doing 300whp on a mustang and keep my goals realistic.

A few facts: I live in the hottest climate you ever heard of, we do 150mph races here on daily basis...my car sees only WOT miles..I auto-x, grag, drift and street race the living $hit out of it...so if I did not blow it, you wont for sure.

I have the mini-me kit manifold and turbo. The rest is custom but the same idea. I have 11,000 miles on the car at 8 psi. Absolutly no problems, but like others have said its a takes a while to get it set up and all. Have fun.

Probably because I don't think anyone in their right mind will go with low compression pistons for example with a lower compression headgasket.
