When did you buy it, during how long time frame have you been trying to contact them?
Maybe time to make a call?
I've been burned a couple of times, luckily the main part of dealers are honest tho and know what customer service means, but you would be surprised if i mentioned a couple well known companys i will never again in my life give a dime to.
I hope you get it sorted shortly, our prime sledding season starts now.

I apologize, I have replied 3 times so I am not sure what happened. Send me a PM and I will get you the shipping information and we can get the ball rolling.

Yes had one fail with 8gal of fuel through it. Have been in contact with Cory but Justin has left the planet so it has been over a week and no answer on a replacement. It worked really well up to the failure so we will have to see how the new one works if I ever get one. Will keep everyone updated.

My buddy had his kpa seize up in about a mile of riding. Good thing it was at his house instead of a 3 hour drive to the mountains. It took a bit of time but he got a new center section and it has been flawless now.

Lucas did you manage to get hold on a new centersection? Otherwise you could have mine because doesnt look like im getting a new compressor & turbine housing that i was promised under warranty.
