There is an inherent risk when running Novis and Vortechs because their oil system is shared with the engine. If you are really that worried about it... just buy a new head unit.
Personally I purchased a used Vortech system and didn't have a problem (yet).

I did the $1500 kit. I ended up spending about $2200.
I'd say patience. I got mine used, sent it to Vortech for a rebuild and couldn't be happier. I was also interested in buying the parts I wanted, not some package deal.
That package sell a chip, I wanted a hand-held tuner for better results.
I saw one cheap on my local craigslist off a crashed Suburban
Good luck

You know, I guess you could get a reservoir, oil cooler and small pump pretty cheap and do a separate system. Ever seen that done?

its just the last generation stuff. I mean you could buy that kit and send the head unit back to vortech and have them upgrade it to current specs and upgrade it to a T trim or something like that for not too much coin. But the kit looks to be pretty good and no searching for parts and piecing a kit together. I'd do it if i had the money...and they need to rename that the $2000 supercharger kit thread cus you cant do it for $1500 anymore.
