Will it kill it; that is the question.
Definitely not, assuming that you just install it and look at the fine job you did.
Wanting to take it out and use it for all its worth will defiantly kill it (ask the ever present bnoon). In general I would surmise that it will cause more wear and tear than a unmodified version of the same model, assuming that you are going to get out there and get it, even if only on occasion. I think in the long run it all depends on how hard you drive the car, how much regular maintenance you would make available on said car, and how much you love to drive. I think that is what you have to weigh. Im direct answer to your question i would say yes, more wear. But even that would depend on what other mods/upgrades you would also get to combat the added stresses of a s/c.
I keep hearing all these tales of the s/c SVT and it gives me the shivers and I wanna do it so bad, but I know if I did it I would be in a heap of trouble. I cant keep myself outta trouble with 200hp let alone what the s/c would add (not to make myself look like an idiot or anything – doh!
). Seriously though, I would want to take it out and see what that MF could do.
Sorry kind of long just my .03. And please keep flames to a min, i am putting forth my best SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) and can not speak of personal experience with a s/c on any of my cars.
