How many have you have had issues from a turbo/supercharger?

solidus

Everybody has stated the truth here. I turned my pistons, rods and valves into glitter because of a tiny hole. Slapped in another engine and started over. The catch there is that I did my install and "I" let attention to detail slip even when it was obvious. Car's running fine now at 9psi and the plan is to swap in an IPP built stage 2 longblock to replace the current motor with less than 17k miles on it. Why?..........like they said, once you feel 500whp you want 600whp. If I had a do over would I do it? All day and twice on Sundays. Would I do it the same way? The only change I'd make is that from the start I should've built the bottom end. My engine failed because of a hole in a vacuum line to one of the wastegates. It spiked to 23psi when it went and did'nt stand a chance.
