i have a 08 xp-t 2871 w snow to air cooler 8psi. i have about 2000km/2 seasons with no blowups, reed failures, pipe failures or bellows and still havnt rebuilt it. i have about $1800 into my turbo setup including guages and head machining. the only hassle i had was keeping my pyrometer probes in and an a/f guage fail. i thought my fuelling was pretty good and didnt notice much lag but when i jump back and forth to a n/a xp i can tell it is a bit more responsive in bottom end. i would say that this is the main advantage of an etec turbo is it should be more responsive. i see a lot of threads about others with etec turbos (especially aerocharger) failing injectors, sensors, pumps etc. im just looking for feedback on pple w etec turbos to see if theyve had much for maintenance costs. or even better would be from pple who have owned both.

thx

Etec 15 aero set up. 500km so far, thing runs great! Literally no difference between when it was stock compared to turbo, untill 5000RPM of coarse!
