I will be giving them a call shortly. The guy I purchased the unit from (Scott @ SDCE in Rhode Island) moves a LOT of ATI products so I'm hoping that will help things along.
The unit functions great aside from the oil leak at the impeller shaft seal, I'm hoping it will be a fairly inexpensive fix. No odd noise or debris on the magnetic drain plug.
My biggest fear is lead time-- I'd really like a 3 week total turnaround (1 week there, 1 week servicing, 1 week return.) If their wait time is longer than that I might consider 2 day shipping. I need the head unit on the car for at least another week to fab my intercooler piping once the intercooler shows up then I'll be shipping it out for service while the IC piping goes out for high temp ceramic coating.
My other worry is that the leaking seal is a sign of one of the high speed side bearings going out and getting sloppy.
