Bearing issues are an old problem with any system. There are so many cheap bearings out there that I can see how this happened after I talked to an aircraft mechanic at work. I commend IPF for stepping up after seeing the returns and to Arno and the guys in Germany for getting some quality bearings in my hands quickly.

Vader, to answer a couple of your statements/questions, there are four bearings between the two pulleys, two in each pulley. Make sure you're getting four. And, yes, I believe the rear oh-2 sensors are turned off, but they are not reporting anything to the ECU except whether or not temperature is being reached for threshold catalyst kick-off. It shouldn't show up in an OBD-II scan.
What sort of visual inspection does CA have when it comes time for emissions? You could remove the compressor and intake/charge plumbing but leave the intercooler in place, as it is pretty well hidden, especially if the stock intake was back in place. The tune from IPF allows the engine to function JUST FINE without the supercharger running, so that should be O.K., too. Wouldn't take any more than an hour or two to do it, I'd think. Put the stock belt back on and you're golden. Fortunately, we don't have a visual inspection in AZ. We have an OBD-II plug-in for newer cars, rollers and a sniffer for older ones. This system will pass both. John B. |

Maybe Arno or Andy can chime in about the rear O2, I don't know how many "not ready" functions you are allowed to have and pass the inspection. There are a few state smog stations that still sniff no OBD reading

I'm FROM Peoria. Illinois. You don't want to move there. Trust me on this one.
Peoria, AZ, founded by folks also from Peoria, IL has some nice areas. But I live in Phoenix proper. The big city. The mean streets. Right in the middle of town. Not only does AZ have nice weather and easier smog laws, but you can actually own and carry a firearm, if that's your thing. None of this magazine limit, magazine can't be in the gun, magazine can't be loaded, can't have hollow point business. But I digress. John B. |

Fortunately my state also has pretty relaxed laws on emissions inspections (for now).
And even though we don't have any mean streets in S.Utah- residents are required to carry large capacity firearms with the most deadly projectiles available on the market (OK- not required but greatly encouraged!). Anyway, out of curiosity I hooked up the OBD reader to my car just to see what it says about readiness: MIL status- off (malfunction indicator lamp) Htd catalyst- N/A Sec air system- N/A AC refrig mon- N/A All other checks were OK (there is another separate "catalyst" check and it was OK). I don't know if a long GM style "drive cycle" would correct any of these or if the "refrig mon" would impact an emission check, but it sure blows cold air! |

I'm in Massachusetts, the land of the second worse emissions check to California. Passed no problem back in March with all tests passed. The IPF tunes with readiness flags enabled worked great !

Are you guys all running the stock headers or do you guys have long tubes with high flow cats?
