Forced induction of any kind adds a lot of power and efficiency but at the cost of additional parts and complexity.

Out of warranty repair is already very expensive.

With a history over the years:

(1)Pulled head studs.
(2)IMS/RMS
(3)D chunked cylinders.
(4)Block porosity.
(5)Recent engine fires from improperly secured rod ends on their most powerful 911.

I say for a consumer to exercise caution for a while till sorted.My opinion.
