I went through the same thing and after realizing they would do nothing but keep replacing the seal I decided to just sell it and went with a vortech. Much better quality blower and actually made more power in my case.

Damn, sorry about your luck. Maybe you can take the P1-SC off, sell it, and get yourself a Paxton or Vortech......

I would contact T&J about pricing, but I'm pretty sure you'd have to buy the head unit and mounting bracket. Also the ATI intercooler won't be compatible with a Paxton or Vortech from what I have previously read......

Your'e better off selling your blower as a tuner kit and buying a vortech/paxton tuner kit to replace it. I think I sold my ATI for $2800 that way and found an s trim tuner kit for close to the same so I didn't lose much, if any money. I saw a brand new intercooled polished novi 2000 for sale for $3500 on the T&J board recently so you might check that out.

so i call procharger and they tell me that it is leaking at the pully because it threw a belt once and the rubber gets stuck in the pullay and blows the seal out. they say they will not cover that repair. i say fine and ask if i can buy a rebuild kit myself. they say oh no you cant because you wouyld have to take it apart. NO SH**!!! so now i have to send the super charger again and they will charge me $ 400 plus to repair it. what a load of crap

How much oil are you putting in? My installer said not to use the whole container. Just a thought!

I was just about to chime in and suggest that. Since I have not used the full container, I have not had a problem for about two years. I drive the car hard too.

I was planning on getting a P1SC but do these S/Cs have any more problems I dont know about.BTW how many PSI are you running and did you get stage I or II and what intercooler...that 11.73 with DRs sounds tempting LOL, especially the 121.5 trap when you ran street tires I guess.

Make sure the oil insn't getting sucked in from the hose that goess to the driver side valve cover. It will appear as if the seals are leaking. Only add 4oz of fluid. Did they replace the bearing in your unit. I had a rebuild over the winter that did not last more than 1500miles, sent it back and they rebuilt the entire thing for free. The external seal behind the pulley looks like a regular lip type seal. Maybe it can be matched up to a CR or national seal (somebody has to make it for them). Good luck.

This is making me nervous, as I just spent about 6 hours today putting in my intercooler and getting everything else ready for the blower tomarrow. I have a question though for anyone that knows. If I leave the regular intake all hooked up and hook nothing to the blower, but mount the blower on the motor, will the idler pulley that replaces the one next to the alternator screw something up by driving it around?

I finnaly recived a call today from procharger and they said that they will cover the charger 1 more time under warranty. i was kinda happy about that but then i asked about upgrading to a d1sc. he told me it would cost me $980 for the upgrade. i thought that was pretty reasonable. the question i have is is it worth it to pay that much for the upgrade or just keep the p1sc??? Do you also think i would need a retune?? the p1sc isd at 12lbs and i was told the d1sc would be also??? thanks for your help guys

I am running between 9 -10 #'s of boost. I have the stage II intercooler. I had a 93 Cobra with a Vortech but I like this unit a lot better! Those times were with the Nitto drag radials. The weather was about 45 degrees and the track was really biting. I had the Procharger for 4 years now and except for the leaking which is not a problem anymore since I have been filling it correctly, I think it is a great kit! Do youirslef a favor and get a good tune from a reputable tuner. you should not have any problems. Let me know if you have any other questions
