The car (06 350Z with the BP twin scroll kit) now has almost 40, 000 boosted miles. I have never had any issues.
I do check things over every spring before the car hits the road.

It's because it's not a DD that I check it over so much but I'm also the guy that pops the hood and does visual inspection and checks oil while I wait for the gas to pump. I've done that on every car I've ever owned.
The checks I do caught what could have been a serious issue. The silicon hose on the charge pipe dried up and started cracking. Had I not been checking it I wouldn't of had any pressure source being fed to the WGs.
I'm also a structural engineer so I believe in overkill
I should probably amend my statement above. I don't do it every time I start the car. I do it prior to pulling it out of the garage each time.
