Just curious what everyone's result.

Please specify
-miles driven since boosting
-stock block or built
-turbo or supercharged

And any comments like how reliable it has been or how often you have to fix something. I don't think I've ever seen a "longest boosted ride" thread, might be interesting...

Curious about this as well.

My stock block f20c has 128,000 miles and has been turboed since 80,000. Makes 618whp. The stock engine had been super reliable.

No issues at all; I drive it regularly on nice days. Even drove up from VA Beach when I bought the car this past Feb (~220 mile trip).

I was boosted for about 5k miles on a perfectly healthy engine before needing to rebuild.

But I don't count, trashed main bearings cause I'm a dumbass who doesnt check his oil level frequently. Engine starved, otherwise was running perfectly.

Stock block, supercharged, 12psi and 400ish whp.
I almost didnt reply, but figured it would be worth reminding everyone to do meticulous general maintenance when you double your cars power, otherwise you'll be paying for it like me

-miles driven since boosting: Approximately 10k over 2 years
-stock block or built: Stock F22C (06 DBW)
-turbo or supercharged: Novi 1000 Supercharged at ~8psi, soon to be Novi 1200

No engine issues here, do have a slight oil leak from the supercharger (possibly bad seals, charger was bought used so unknown how many miles it has on it) which is why I'm replacing it with the 1200. Only other issue I've had during the time it's been supercharged was my AC compressor went bad, but that is totally unrelated to the supercharger.
