Procharger head unit leaks? Anyone have any issues?

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone has had any issues with procharger head units in the long term? A big local guy was saying that he kept seeing issues past 50K miles put on the unit, leaks specifically, but I wasn't really buying it. Anyone here know about these possible issues? Have any experience with them? Thanks for having a read!

Nope but most people I know with centrifugals spin the wee out of them. So they send them back to the manufacturer every other winner( some every year) to it have them checked out. I know Vortech has a very good P.M. / Repair set up.

You have to have them checked every so often I was told depending on their use roughly 5 years or so plus it never hurts just to be sure everything is ok.

Mine had a small leak after being clocked, sent it to Procharger they turned it around in 2 days I had to put a piece of glass under it for 24hrs to find it, Love my Procharger and the support

Mine leaked, but sent it back under warranty repair. All is well now.

I like the unit because they are on the budget side. I havent seen the head leak, but have seen the tubing leak and loss boost. Better clamps could help that.
