Ok so I know there have been people who have mentioned how long they've been boosted on the stock block, but I'd like to get a thread where we can see how long and how many miles people have gone before blowing something. Usually it seems people mention time and not miles so I'd prefer to see miles b/c I know there are people here that have run 1, 2, and 3+ years on their stock block. I'll start it up...
~19k miles, 2+ years and still going strong. (aside from my recent mishap but that's not boost related and the bottom end is still A-OK)

Damn I thought pushing 20k miles was good, 42k now that's impressive

With stock injectors and mostly highway driving I was still able to get 30mpg. Untuned on accel 30# injectors I still get at least 25mpg

Wow,I guess its because I boost Alot.But I only get about 21mpg and thats city/back road driving.Then again it looks as if you have the STAR kit which has a bigger turbo, harder to spool,my S16G loves spooling lol.I guess I should start a thread but does anyone elses gas hand stay on the full mark for about 100 miles then drop from there like crazy?

that is normal when i drive mine on a full tank it will sit full for about a week of driving then drop 3/4 a tank in a couple of days since day one of owning mine.

You all might want to add what your compression is as well! That would be another interesting bit of info, while everyone is already posting their info.

I lasted ~12K on a stock block at 9psi. I think.. it's been seven years since.
