hey guys

I'm looking at a 95 5.0 car with a Intercooled P1SC ATI Procharger @11psi... Apparently the guy said they tend to leak oil a lot, and had to take it off once and send it to ATI to have it fixed..? I was surprised to hear this, since all I've heard about ATI is good stuff... Anyone know anything? Got recommendations/experiences?

THanks

Wat up diablo! How ya' liking that new '94 GT you picked up? Wow ... already looking at another one? You're keeping the stable stocked, lol.

Anyway, I have no personal experience with the ATI stuff .... but I've never really heard anything bad about them.

Yup, he has a 94 too, and it's got no engine, so that's what this would be for.

Well that sounds bad... RandyHaywood recommended the Procharger over a KenneBelle when we got some quotes/recommendations from him.. Local Mustang speedshop for those who don't know him.

ATI is right down the road and an engineer for them admins on a local board. he acknowledges the fact that they did have pretty bad leak issues, but he states the newer models are alot better.

soooo, if it's an older head unit i would try and trade it for a newer one or sell it and buy some other crap.

oil leaks eh? yeah, i would say that i have some experience on this issue... when i took the procharger off of my 95 GTS and went to put it on the 94 cobra, the front seal had busted somehow and when i fired up the engine, it threw oil everywhere... lol - hit the fricking sealing and all over the damned place... but i called ATI and got the part number, went to a local shop and got a replacement and have had no problems since.

the front seal is really the only place that i could see it leaking... and who knows, maybe the head unit got knocked around in the couple of months that it was sitting before i put it on my car.

boost is still awsome...

I use to run the P1sc @ 14psi without the intercooler. The one thing we noticed is the charge temps were quite a bit higher than an S-trim with out the intercooler to help out. I've heard the P1sc-2 will produce lower temps. I never had an issue with mine leaking and I bought it used and drove it for a few thousand miles before I sold it. I think I just read where they threw a P1sc on a 05 and were down in the high 9's with it.
