Default Longevity of Stage III setups?

Of you guys that have the Stage IIIs, how many miles have you put on the car with the Stage III to date and have you had any part of the engine or drivetrain fail?

The k04 turbos tend to be more reliable than the k03 turbos.

Default Longevity does not seem to be a problem... Atleast not for me.. (knocks on wood) I have..

about 11k hard and when I say hard I mean HARD miles on my car with the stage 3 setup. I probably take mine to the strip more than most guys. I also have been on long trips with it and its solid as a rock. I have not had any realiability issues at all. If you didn't know better I could fool you into thinking the car was stock until I opened it up. Still just as smooth as ever..
