Just got a quick question. Would a V2 blower with 12,000 miles need a rebuild? I know it would probably depend on the condition and all, but just wondering. That seems like a lot of miles. Also, what to watch out for when buying a 12k old used kit? Thanks.

 

There's quite a few V2's out there with well over 30-40k on them.

You're fine.

 

Actually that is pretty low.

 

If a blower only could last 12,000 miles with no issues then there would be no reason to buy one. I drive 35 to 40,000 a year i would need to rplace my blower 4 times a year!

 

Rebuild, not replace. IIRC a rebuild costs less than $400. Some people have also gone more than 40k w/o a rebuild.

 

i bought a V1 sc with 50k miles on it and i was told it was never rebuilt. could that be a lie? if not....does it mean i need a rebuild soon?

 

If a blower is used properly then they should last 100K miles.

Before you install it check the bearing for play ETC.

 

check bearing for play....roger that. anything else sir? sorry guys i know NOTHING about boost, and you'll see a lot of stupid/newbie questions from me. if i get too annoying....let me know. thanks

 

Ok i feel stupid for asking, but i keep seeing IIRC, what does that mean, i can't seem to figure it out ???

 

If I Remember Correctly
