Sittin at 128k and I just installed a K04 1k ago. Bought the car at 54k and tuned APR Stage 1 from 66k to K04 install.
Had some of the usual issues early on and they were covered under extended warranty: stuck fuel injector, leaking water pump, intake manifold replacement due to failed flaps. Paid the extra 2hrs labor to have them do a carbon cleaning during intake manifold replacement.
Replaced the timing chains/tensioners/guides as preventative maintenance at 106k.
The car has been very reliable and never left me stranded. There have been quirks due to daily driving a car that's much different than stock but I'm on top of maintenance and take care of the car. I expect it to last past 200k.

I think the important thing to note for anyone high miles is mods and what major things have been replaced at which mileage.

I agree. If the engine has been rebuilt twice and has had 4 water pumps in 200k miles then it kinda changes things. Also if it was Stage 2 for most of its life I would expect things to wear out faster.

At 122k Ive done timing chain and tensioner, ABS module/pump, rear main seal, upper timing cover, multiple PCVs, waterpump, map sensor, all new shocks plus other stuff as preventative...motor mounts, flywheel, reg maintenance etc. Thank god I did it all DIY as I would have spent way more than the car is worth in just a couple years.
