Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I mentioned my comp box to the vendor I just ordered from and I did not detect any gasping for air on the other end of the phone. I took that as a good sign... . :-laf When I told them what my setup was, they recommended the HR version. Anything we add is taking a gamble, just part of the adventure I suppose. 
Please don't misinterpret me on this, I am certainly feeling warranty grief at the moment, and I expect my wife to resume speaking to me soon {joke}. But realistically, buying something high performance we should assume the risk (position?). From what I recall of the thread, Piers went out of his way at his own expense to try and take care of his customer. Unfortunately it became public via TDR and turned a bit nasty. I got the impression that both Piers and his customer lost out on that deal. How detailed should warranty statements on high performance products be? How detailed does "I am my own warranty station" need to be? The main thing is that our vendors of choice do everything possible to support our issues, anything beyond that should get chalked up to "stuff happens". This certainly applies to the cream of the vendor crop such as Piers. "If you can't afford to pay, then be careful how you play" are words of wisdom. Fortunately this is as ideal of a time financially as it could be for me to need a new VP. Otherwise my truck would have been down for a period of time as these items are definitely not cheap. Did my comp box trash my VP, probably not but it certainly added a variable that increased the chances. If my new pump goes bad, I will be disappointed with the vendor and PO'd at myself, but I don't see crying over it, after all it was my choice. Geeze I hope that I am not going to be eating these words anytime soon...
