Default mileage limit for a xcharger?

Im almost about to hit 50k miles on my baby! is this to much to think of installing a xcharger. Ive taken wonderful care of it. Never had any issues. PLan on doing a CAI, Tune, exhaust and suspension. Should i still consider getting the x-charger with the miles though? if i can what other upgrades should i do also? Thank you

i dont see how mileage could be an issue. especially since you say your car is well taken care of. my stang will have about the same mileage by the time i'm ready to supercharge it so i have no concern with mileage. maybe others with the X can chime in.

Mileage can be an issue when going FI, but 50k miles is not a deal breaker. I would say more like 100k miles and you would need to worry.

If your engine is in good running shape, then you shouldn't have any issues.

50K on a well maintained engine is pretty "young" these days. Go for it!

yea good question. Im at 94,000 km (58,500 mi). Plan to add either the X or turbo in the next 15,000-20,000 miles. Safe or unsafe?

As long as the engine is in good shape, I don't see an issue.
