13k for me. You could install it with 0 miles on it and just take it through the break in period with no boost. I would say the sooner the better because now you are seeing the full power train warranty (60k/5yrs) on the supercharger.

It's going in for install today, roughly 24k miles. Would have bought it earlier, but no money!

Nah the gas station guy wasn't and for the first time I didn't watch him and figures. Around me you can't pump your own gas pretty stupid.
