You heard they leak, eh? Based on the lengthy HKS superchargers owners thread I started a few years ago which has many hundreds of submissions, I have yet to hear of one that leaks. Hearsay, I'd say.
The common failure which seems to have been addressed had to do with a threaded internal part which sometimes overturned, stripped the threads and prevented boost from being produced. The first unit that I destroyed did not have that failure.
My kit isnt really a V1 except perhaps for the piping and intake. The intercooler is almost 2x the kit unit size and pipes to intercooler custom. Originally from somebody in Istanbul, believe it or not.
Don't buy used kits!!!
