All the "bolt on blower" stories pretty much end the same and usually within about 20 hours of the beginning of the story. (doesnt matter the brand and Im not knocking the procharger its a nice unit)
Im stating emphatically NOT to" bolt on" any blower without a long list of upgrades.

I learned all this the expensive way.

In my uneducated perspective I can see that these could be true as a week link from too much boost. Can these limits be identified or should improvements just be made as part of the prochagers installation?

Any other tips, big and small are appreciated. thanks in advance.
