I have a buddy who had one on his 05 C5 Vette pushing 650+ on pump gas for 30k miles until the repo man showed up. He beat on it the whole time without any problems except trips to the tire store. Inspect it for obvious wear and Militec 1 it. It should last longer than whatever your weak link will be after installing the Procharger.

They are stout. The weakest link is whatever part breaks next. Whenever you add a significant modification like a Procharger, there is some part of the drive line that was never intended to handle that kind of power ie: clutch, trans, u joints, rear end etc. In your case it would probably be wise to keep the boost at a reasonable level with a tune installed by a reputable tuner. The "weak link" on your car is probably the rods and pistons. High boost with a bad tune can melt non forged pistons.

procharger sells 3 year warranties for them for pennies. they wouldnt be selling the waranties so cheap if their units broke. there are a few companies that can remanufacture all of the bearings and everything for a decent price so if something were to go wrong you could always send it to them.

I also have a couple bottles of oil (I changed it every oil change, just changed it last month) and a couple stickers to throw in. I have an extra, barely used set of TR6 plugs to throw in as well.... You install this kit and a fuel pump and you're ready to go FAST! If you have the money, I'll take the kit off my car. I have more pics and dyno sheets, contact me for more info. You guys know how much this stuff goes for, I got $7k in it, I will sell for $4200 OBO contact me

even though that sounds like a pretty reasonable deal,,,, you would probably be better off buyin a brand new one. then for around $1000 more, (maybe a lil less) you get one never abused, you know it will last, and its backed for 3 years.
