How many cases total are their of failures? on the S2000 side their is mine, and my friends that i know of.
Did anything come of the upgraded piece?
Not sure if any of you guys had this problem, but the provided BOV did not work with my car. When i came off throttle i would get a constant steam train flutter, i had this issue for 6 months until i upgraded the bov to a Tial, not sure if any of you guys had similar? and not sure if this contributed to the chargers demise. Im just worried that this will happen again with another charger.
It lasted 14 months, Roughly 5.5k miles.

I was basically forced into buying a second kit at half price or i could have waited 10 weeks for a supercharger to be inspected and repaired under warranty (not very convenient). I should have bought a turbo kit at this point.
At least the customer service was there. Now I have to communicate with someone in japan directly. they will probably send me through the same process. its just a shame. i spent a lot of money through HKS and it has been rough time chasing my ass only to find out the supercharger is failing again. I will agree the performance is there for sure when working properly... but that performance needs reliability which this kit lacks completely.
