it really depends if the charger has had any work done to it. i reckon every 20-25 thousand miles is a good bet to keep it in good nick. also i read that if you have a smaller pulley even more often.

hmmm id say 20-25k on smaller pulley...many g40's have done well over 100k on original chargers... so a i rebuilt one on standard pulley should last well with regular oil changes and clean air filters.
