Mine is coming out now, 106K miles, over 500 TimeSlips mostly in the 11s, Raced 3 times a week.
I use it as a "Fun" Car and It has had Racegas, Racechip and 20-21psi in it for well over 2 years. The car almost never saw Pumpgas until recently.
They basically Last forever if you dont go crazy with the boost.
With a Stock Turbo and 20psi I would bet it would go 150K miles.

Slow POS sitting in the Driveway awaiting repairs and then its For Sale. No More V8 Cars for me.
