How many miles?

How many evoXs running stock turbo with all the bolt ons(26-27psi) and how many miles have you guys put on this setup?. I'm just wondering how reliable is it to be running such high boost, I know it also depends on how you take care of your car and how you drive it. Just wanna hear of any problems............thx

I've been going 6k miles so far on 26psi with no issues. After my tune I asked about the high boost and my tuner said it was fine for the evox with a 3port solenoid. When I drive, I usually shift around 3-4k, some spirited driving once in a while.

15K miles, all mods are in my signature. "Only" running 25 psi, not sure if that counts.

No problems thus far but I'm also religious about staying up to date on maintenance, Mobile 1 oil changes every 3K.

55k Miles. Been at 27 PSI since 10k miles (3 1/2 years) @ 340 whp. Only thing I had to replace was my clutch that just recently went out. I drive my car like its meant to be and I do not baby it. So I couldn't be happier with how reliable its been. Oh and I do all the fluid changes a bit ahead of schedule and take care of it like it should be.

Sounds good so far, I might just turn up my boost a bit, was afraid of something break down. Tuned on lower boost(23psi made 340whp at English racing), if I tune for 27psi I should hit around 365whp correct(91 octane)...........thx again guys

My stock setup with minor boltons ran fine for 39k miles until the built motor. Now I have 6k on it with stock turbo. Still holding strong.

On 28PSI, had 1 minor spark plug issue, resolved quickly, runs like a champ. With just bolt ons and a "conservative" tune by an experienced tuner you shouldnt have any issues.

I'm at 24k full bolt-on's and running 27lbs boost. What I might have to change very soon is the clutch and cmc
Other than that, it has not let me down at all for a stock turbo

at 32K on the clock but have been tuned for about 11K or so now on 26-27PSI. No problems with it whatsoever.

I would hit peak boost around 27-28 and it would settle around 25-26. I ran that for atleast 15k miles and spiking around 26 for almost 30k miles. No issues.

To me, it all depends on your maintenance schedule. I would always do oil changes VERY early. (Like 2500 miles). After about 50k miles and modded almost its whole life.. not a single issue.
