If you are not running a properly functioning oil separating catchcan your intercooler will eventually become obstructed from the oil ingestion varnish/residue buildup.

This is after 6k miles w/out one:


This builds up gradually but you can see how this is already becoming obstructed. Other than that you should be fine for 100k plus miles with todays quality SC's.

damn i'm surprised to see so many miles and they're holding up fine. i was so head strong about getting a smaller pulley as fast as i can but after the install with the stock pulley i've calmed down just as Ted Jannetty said i would haha! it's got so much grunt with this s/c. i'm looking forward to dropping the pulley size a bit
