Default Maggie on Stock bottom end?

I found a sweet deal on a MP112 kit, and was wondering about reliability issues. My car is a bolt on only with 100k miles. Do you think it will hold up?

Thanks guys

Not that I know of, I know of 1 other member on here who had this happen too (he has his own thread on it), but when I called Magnacharger about it last year, they said they only heard about this happening a couple of times. I said, well, I'm the third one!!

Go ahead and run it. You should be fine with a decent tune.
