Default Reliability with a SC?

I'm considering purchasing a supercharger but am curious as to what the reliability is like? Have there been serious problems from owners who've SC'd? How difficult is the install? (I've installed a greddy turbo kit on an '03 civic si) Thanks in advance.

installing a s/c is not bad a full day is all you need and Reliability on a s/c is better and cheeper then a turbo kit

Stock diff here, but with 4.44s. It's been just fine for many years with a Vortech. I launch from time to time and I take off fairly aggressively from time to time. Just remember the maintenance on it and learn to give it a rest between hard use by driving it normal for a few minutes to let the temps come down.

You know I figured out how your diff has held together all this time.

It cost me money to get mine cryo'd. I live in Fl.

Where you live cryo thermal cycling is free. .

I suppose -38*C for 15 hours at a time might be fairly comparable.
