I almost got full pay off for it at the GMC dealership but then they realized it wasn't going to pass smog damn these emmissions laws.

You running aftermarket headers? cats ?I almost got full pay off for it at the GMC dealership but then they realized it wasn't going to pass smog damn these emmissions laws.
YepYou running aftermarket headers? cats ?
Yes, I ran the sc with stock manifolds and cats for about a year. I was using the Procharger tune. Then when I added ID 1000 fuel injectors, JMS BAP, 170 degree thermostat, UPR dual valve oil separator and long tubes I had the car tuned. It made 623 hp at the wheels but it just runs weird. im really afraid to take it for more tunes/Dino pulls because I'm afraid it'll break something again like it did last time and cost me another 2 grand.Have you run the S/C on the stock manifold? Any other engine mods besides the S/C ?
Sounds goodGood lord what a cluster F. Give me a call tmrw. See when you can swing by and let me look at it. Maybe another set of eyes will help. I won't charge you 2k. See if we can find a problem and go from there.

what broke on the dyno pull ?
One of the oil seals on the blower. I had to have the blower rebuilt. It wasn't covered under warranty because I had it longer than a year and I had the pulley changed.
It blew during the dyno pull. I guess it made a huge mess.So it broke during the dyno tune. The the seal just give way and the tuner saw it blow, or did it leak gradually afterwards?
Been reading there is no vent in the procharger head unit. Found this on ebay, might be what is needed.

Man, that sounds like something I'd like to avoid. Procharger is on my list when I get to supercharging shopping. Someone else mentioned that filter/breather thing, so I searched a little and found some guys (on other car forums) talking about seals leaking because of pressure build up. One guy said he had his rebuilt and it ended up leaking again, then put new seals in it and added the breather and hasn't had a drop since.It blew during the dyno pull. I guess it made a huge mess.
appears to offer a longer warranty as well:FWIW, the paxton comes with a breather plug.
