  • car broke again... :(

    going to see my son approx 6 miles from my house i was cruising in OD 2200RPM and the little nose cone that covers the turbine bolt on my F1 came off and sucked up into my charger... yep instant destruction... car still runs but i cut the belt off the procharger... yep this is why im glad i went to 2 6 ribs instead of a 110 dollar 12 rib... now to get the charger off and sent in for repair sucks that i know procharger wont warranty it because its 2 years old now, but only has maybe 6-8 hours of run time glad i wasted the money on new procharger oil to swap the oil this spring

        As much as it sucks, better the procharger than a bolt sucked into the motor..

                    That sucks, bad. At least you didn't have to tow/trailer it back home. BS that they wouldn't warranty it for you, that's definitely a flaw in thier workmanship.

                      upon looking at it... something shot out and cut my number 1 wire in half... we found the clip that holds the cone of death on the blower laying on the rack... the wire was a solid 8 inches routed away from the blower...
