You shouldn't have any problems, West have a good name but its always best to get a health check for a peace of mind...............dyno / compession check / leakdown.

Keep eye on oil & water consumption.

I own a West tuning R53 and is my daily runner and have no problems or niggles what so ever. My annual millage is about 8-10k, fuel is also fine, i use generally about £30 a week but be prepared to get your wallet out when you put your foot down, the sound of the supercharger whinning is addictive but starts to rinse the petrol! excellent fun, great car and would highly recommend it. Good luck in what ever you decide.
