I agree 100% - modifying manufacturers original specs is sometimes dangerous. AS I AM CONSIDERING BUYING A TURBO OR SUPERCHARGER, I want to know what "sometimes" means. To me, that is the purpose of this string.
I blew up the motor in my supercharged Boxster a few weeks back. I didn't go onto the Boxster boards and start crying that the supercharger kit I installed made the thing blow up.
Obviously the owner of this car has not come crying to the forum. Otherwise this "rumor" would have been substantiated.
Do you blow up engines regularly? Is this something a person should expect to happen routinely?
Your post has been flagged unsubstantiated because it is just that. You heard that someone toasted a motor and they happen to have had a Hahn system installed. You are providing a third party account without even knowing the particulars of the engine failure or the circumstance of when it happened. I myself consider this rumor until I hear it from the horses mouth and all of the facts are presented.
