I also had over 30k miles put on the car with that twin turbo installed. Did I dog it.........no. Did I baby it............no. I did frequent regular maintenance and paid close attention to any changes. You have to be "one with your machine" in a matter of speaking and I took the time to do that.

The DD comment is stated as a opinion. GTR, bmw M3, and C7 z06 all have factory boost. That being said they're made from the factory to handle boosted power. VQ's are nothing different, but we use aftermarket boost, and tune.

The foot note in my original post simply said, "for the ones that do already know what to expect".

Gratz that you DD and driver her correctly. Remember just because we didn't have issues doesn't mean the next person will.

Quick example: friend of mine had the 1st boosted VQ37VHR in my state. Put 50k plus boosted miles 0 issues. Just sold it last week and their Transmisson blew. Just gamble of how its driven that makes the different. Having a side car will increase the life of your boosted car. That's the point I was trying to make. Not bashing the ones that DD that don't, or can't afford another vehicle.
