No one really knows how much harm these kits are doing since people that still have the kits are either still running them or have removed them and sold the car. I have not seen any people do post-force induction compression/leakdown tests of their engines. I have not see any recent threads about blown motors. Proper installation and TUNE are key to "reliability". Define it how you want.
Good points. I'm really thinking about things in laymans terms. Reliability to me means things "the car's running well and I don't have to take it into the shop every month" and "I don't have to constantly spend $1000s of dollars fixing stuff to get it back on the road".
