Default need some help

i'm buying a car that is pro charged with the D1SC i was wondering how long do the last and what sort of maintenance i need to do to keep it running good
also are there any mods that will extend its life...
i have never owned or dealt with any forced induction car so any help y'all can give me will be greatly appreciated
oh and the car has Meth injection and forged 346 bottom end factory crank with forged manley pistons and rods and the pro charger runs 16psi but comes with a 14psi pulley also if some one can tell me what to look for to see if its a good system that would be great help too

thanks guys

^^^^ it stands for compression ratio. if you have high CR on a boosted motor you will have to run higher octane gas to prevent knock at certain boost levels.

The ProCharger head unit needs to have it's oil changed every 6000 miles.

I'd replace the spark plugs once a year.

The air filter will need to be cleaned more often, and it is sucking in a lot more air.

Unless you know who tuned it, I'd have the tune checked out to make sure it is on the safe side. Bob

The fact that is has a forged bottom end and meth should make it very safe. I too would double check the tune with a reputable speed shop.
