My 40/18 has about 50k on it, have had no problems with it. It does have some lag until about 1700 rpm, after that it gets to 45psi in a hurry with the set-up I have. Biggest thing I think is to let it cool down. My turbo has about 45 hooks on the sled and who knows how much street abuse on it and is still going strong.
