Honestly, once it's working, nothing. Most people either build or buy turbo kits which require a some effort to get working right. Beyond that, a well designed kit that is left alone will run as reliably as any supercharger system.

But who leaves anything alone be it a supercharger car or turbo car?

Maintenance is monthly.

Buy one more mod per month.

Change your oil frequently. Other than that, it's not breaking other parts, or not blowing your next paycheck on upgraded ones
