Had mine for 4 yrs, several issues with my set up (1 engine and 2 trannies) due to my own doing, only thing that's been reliable has been the turbos! Don't go over 10 psi, you'll start replacing parts thereafter, but I think this goes to supercharger a too....

Depends on everyone's goals.. We have made numerous STOCK bottom ends last for a long time at the 750-800 ++ rwhp range. However, that is with supporting modifications, injectors, fuel system, methanol (octane), and tuning has to be on point. However, we build the same kit over and over again with the ECS SC1500 base kit, ID-850, Livernois or Squash fuel setup, Alky Control meth, and then exhaust modifications, so we always are relying on good parts, octane and tuning. We just did one AGP turbo kit, and I'll say we are quite impressed with it however that is on a forged combination. Like to take an AGP kit into the 800rwhp/800rwtq range on a stock bottom and put some DR's on it

there is a saying in the VG30DETT world "300zx Twin Turbo" thats called the 6 P's ..Piss Poor Planning Leads to Piss Poor Performance. I think that basic rule applies to all be it supercharged ,Turbocharged or NA ,to say one type of SC is better than the other or Turbos are better than SC just isn't practical they both have there place.

Turbos are absolutely reliable for a daily driver. Anyone who says a turbo car is unreliable by default, is stupid. Honestly.

Proper parts, proper setup, and proper tune. You will have no reliability problems at all.

Everything I see says this is a great kit and like I mentioned in another thread, if Matt at FSP likes it, it would be good enough for me... He's earned that in my book based on dealings I've had with him...

Once parked and ready to turn off engine, do you need to allow time for oil to cycle out of turbo?

With the AGP kit, no. They have parts on the kit that take care of that.

Biggest point here is change the oil/filter often... I change mine every 2500-3000 miles and before every race event... Oil is cheap compared to turbos and motors... .

AGP has addressed all of these concerns and is why We endorse the AGP Twin Turbo systems. Definitely the Highest quality OEM reliable system we have seen. Feel free to give me a call to discuss your goals. Ted.
