The first year boosting i've blown three engines. The engine in my daily driver is holding 17 psi (stock block) for about 13 months now. Damn I kind of forgot the feeling of blowing one ;D

Well mine has been boosted since january last year, started at 10psi with a small turbo, now at 15psi with a bigger turbo.
It's been above 25psi in short bursts. Only thing that has broken is one headgasket that went when the wastegate pressure line cracked, pegging the boost gauge so I have no idea how high it went, I'd guess it was above 30psi. The kickback when I went off the throttle was so powerful it blew the intake hose off the turbo. I was using speed density for fuel and MAF for ignition back then so the ignition went over advanced, killing the head gasket.
Oh, and it's a daily driver, raped daily in all gears.

Me, but I didn't daily drive the turbo civic, so I didn't really rape it or anything.

I've been boosted for almost a year now, stock D16a6 with more than 170,000 miles. ran the fmu for about a month or two and was running lean like a motha f****!! it would bog and misfire everywhere. changed to the SAFC and 450's and has been running fine ever since! runs hard and spins tires as soon as boost hits! this a REAL DAILY DRIVER @ 10-12psi (depending on spikes) and has plenty of miles on it. only thing thats gone out was my water pump. going turboedit in about a week so things should get better... 8)
