Need to send some stuff back to procharger... Have a blower and intercoolers that have been sitting for two years. Need to send them back to procharger to get inspected and what not. My question is...if you or know someone that sent something back to procharger like this how long did it take from the time you sent it till you got it back from them?

I would just drop them a line and ask them what the turn around time is.
I doubt you need to have an intercooler returned and inspected, so I will assume you are talking about the headunit.
Just call them up, find out what the wait time is, and if its up your alley, get the RMA number from them.
Most of the time, sitting won't hurt a blower or intercooler. But I can say this, since the Prochargers are self contained. I would fill the unit with oil, and take it in your hands and roll it around a couple times like a bowling ball. That way you are coating all the bearings, and getting the seals wettened before you put it on the car, and drop the hammer.
No bearing likes those first couple seconds of being run dry....
And seals will hate you for it.
But if there is nothing wrong with the unit. I would put it on, and enjoy the boost!

When I talked to them on Monday they said it's running 4 weeks. And if I remember right, it's $125 to open it up & look at it, plus any parts you need or want replaced.
