I don't know. They said it needed a rebuild.

Only way to upgrade to Ysi is have it rebuilt, sell your blower as a new rebuild then buy a Ysi.

My Ysi needed a rebuild at ~9k miles.

I'm not sure, but I do find this disappointing.

When ya spin a blower to its max rpm be prepared to rebuild it quite often. ECS makes some good power but they run overdrive pulleys on even there their base kit.

ECS has their pulley sets for max blower rpm. They dont spin past max rated rpm. 7.8 lower and 3.33 upper is about right. Im running 7.8 and 3.47

They are reliable, and good, but there are bad ones. If you spin it at max, or over spin it, plan on rebuilds. <10k isn't normal but it does happen. If I did a centri blower I would budget a rebuild every 25-30k miles. You may get one like Bo and never have to touch it, or you may be spending the $650 every 10k miles on a rebuild (+ labor if you can't pull it off yourself).
