Default Common Issues with Prochargers???

Just curious what issues/problems anybody has had with them. Ive heard they are very noisy for one thing. Do they last long? I know about the whole procharger oil change thing every 6000 miles. I guess the question is just what have others experienced with them? Thanks for any input. Im asking about the Honda/Acura kits. B series specifically.

The only thing I have heard bad about them other than the oil change every 6000 miles, is that they are really hard on the crankshaft

Yea of course the engine oil every 3000. But the procharger is a self-contained unit with its own oil/fluid supply. Thats what needs to be changed every 6000 miles.

be careful sucking water up because it sits so low to the ground. I know because that procharger was off my old car.
