Ive got the og one still in one of my cars.
Did a switch and maybe 2 accumulator balls throughout its lifetime.
But.....
I take car of things like flush the fluid out and make sure it stays clean
I also run synthetic fluid in the power master as well.
I have found it to be all in all a very...
Depends on who's hood it is and if its a bolt on or pin on.
The gn pin hood came in around 14lbs from vfn.
The bolt on is is 23lbs.
Hairline is is heavy but a much sturdier piece.
I will check my info on weight.
Need to look at it to see where the system is at.
If backpressure is low
Then your not driving the turbo hard enough.
We use co2 on the external gates to achieve this not manifold pressure.
Anything can be made to turn including a g body
As far a a straight line.
The g body can shine above everything you listed
And be reliable.
My 1000+hp gn has been together for years
