Sad thing is that the replacement one started doing the same thing after 2K miles... switching to PTuning turbo
yep 3-4 weeks. mostly it was probably shipping time from me to them, then from them to rotrex. once rotrex gave them the okay they just sent me a whole new unit from their stock(it came with new oil and reservoir all in the same box just like a whole new kit does). i think it's just cheaper/faster to send it off the shelf like that for them. this is all completely conjecture because my reality was that i sent it in and waited 3-4 weeks to receive the new one. i received an e-mail telling me the new one was being sent, but that was it. initial shipping costs were on me and they took care of the rest.

It seems like the JRSC has less issues than others out there.

I would love for Jackson Racing to comment on these failures. Do they know what is causing it? Is it customer error? low oil? Over rev? Manufacturing defects?
i think jrsc probably has some speculation, but i doubt they do much more than do a quick test of the unit and send it to rotrex for evaluation. if warranty claims on the blowers are high then it's up to rotrex to track down what went wrong where(that's why serial numbers are so important).

in the end i don't think jrsc would keep using rotrex if they had typical high failure rates. i'm just thinking that there is just a bad batch out there and they are slowly getting warrantied. but that's just this guys opinion.
