Its 2014, what current upgrades would give my gun 350 with.20s reliably? Is there a way to avoid high flow valves because I want to avoid changing theme out in all my mags.
Thanks guys, enlighten me.

Depending on what you go with 350 is a high number to reach for.
Keep in mind, this is a Japanese gun. They are design to shoot under a certain FPS and/or energy to meet Japanese legal status. I think it's 300FPS and under 1j. Don't quote me on that though.
Initially, your gun should shoot around 270-280FPS.
What you need to get is a longer tightbore inner barrel, a good hop up bucking that can seal, a strong hammer spring AND a high flow valve.
Buy the flo valve last. If get to 350 without it, then you're good. If not, then buy one.
For the question of "how long it will last":
It's really difficult to answer questions like these. It's all dependant on the treatment/useage/aftercare whatever you want to call it, of your gun. THis goes for any airsoft gun that you end up owning. You need to take care of it.
Lube it, don't drop it, don't do whatever you think will break the gun faster or wear it out.
Simple as that.
For the Glock 18c in particular, the gun does have a tendency to wear/break faster than its G17 counterpart. THis is because of the full auto function ecxasterbating wearage everytime that switch is flicked on and the trigger is pulled....
