I'll be in touch. B)

I think that the service on the JR is: There is no service to do at all.
It is all self included/lub into the blower, when the blower goes you can buy a rebuild kit for it. (I think it is just a little more xpensive than a turbo rebuild kit if I am right)
I drove mine when it was boosted for over 12 hours without stopping except to put gas, and I also beated on it on the highway in quiet areas so I feel like this setup is just extremly reliable, I also did 12 hours back ride 5 days after the first one.
at no time during those non-stop 24 hours of driving had I any problems, never even saw the oil get hotter than usual. I totaled almost 3000km in 2 days.
hope this answer some of the questions you might have, comming from one who had a JR SVT.
