I have put on approximately 10K miles since I installed mine last year with no issues. Your use of the product is at your own risk etc. etc.
On the auto the inital difference seemed only slight until I put on a full 3 inch JT exaust. This is now an insanely fast car that keeps pace with almost any of turbo talons in town. Once on the hyway it outpaces even 300+ hp v8's. ( the cost of a a new tranny won't hurt so bad when a car goes like this!)
The inital adaption to the unit requires a few days of lightfoot driving or you will be going way past the red.
The car is still very drivable but power comes sooner and faster when you put your foot in it.
The boost never goes past mid red which is a lighter tune than some of the aftermarket ecu's. To my knowledge no one has ever run one with a wideband and things could possibly be getting lean depending on the conditions.
The main drawback is that my tranny is now upshifting too early (increased pressures have blown the internal seals I suppose ... $100 in parts I think) and that I am going through tires rather quickly.
If Jak comes up with an ecu for the auto I will likely get one of those as he runs a wideband on all his ecu's.
