I am at 75K. I had it off at...uhm...maybe 60K? It looked fine besides a few scars on the coating. The freaking oil seems to take care of it...makes it ugly but protoects it at the same time I guess.
I would imagine bearings, rotor coatings, bypass valve is what is most important to change. Besides dirty, mine is fine I bet.

I was running a 97 Grand Prix GTP with a mail order tune.Stock pulley.I upgraded the belt pullies from plastic to steel,that's it.Sold it at 240,000 KM.
I changed the oil in the blower twice.
Never had an issue with the drivetrain(blower,engine,transmission)

By the looks of the ads in here lately, I'd say the typical life of a Magnacharger is 3 owners.
And, as somebody has already mentioned, that's the same amount of licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop.
