Powerdyne=timebomb, there are too many horror stories about them. Even a few guys on here. SSkiller blew one up. Save the extra few hundred and get yourself a vortech or paxton

They are unreliable. You may, just MAY, be able to get away with running one for a short time with little to no problems, but that seems to be very rare. I have yet to see anyone run one without problems.

Not too long ago, I was saying that I only knew of two people that ran them without problems, and one was a HUGE supporter here on the forums. Well his unit blew up and damn-near F'ed up his engine. The other person had theirs fail too but at least the impellers didn't shatter on them.

IMHO, it's not worth the risk. Do a search on google for powerdyne and see how many bad stories vs. good stories you hear. It's not worth it. Just save the extra money and get a paxton, vortech, or procharger for $2,500 or so.
