Default How long have you been blown?

So I have been running my V2 for about 7 months now as a daily driver. Got the unit used with about 5000 miles on it and have put about another 6000 or so miles on it since then. Since this is my DD how long can I expect this thing to hold up before it needs a rebuild or just goes out completely. Safe street tune so I don't see anything engine wise going wrong, but you never know.

old buddy of mine racked up over 20k on his 2.1kb and it was a used one also...never broke until he wrecked the car... but there made and tested to be daily drivers...i wouldnt worry...if your adding more power then start your of course shorten the life but as long as its safe it will last a long while

as long as you have a good tune and dont beat on the car 24/7, the internals should hold up for a looooong time as long as you dont get power hungry

Me too, from a young age - but it was in a good way!
