So as you all know few monthes back i got the superflow intercooler pump an posted up my logs n results. Its been great an suddenly out of the blue the thing dies on me. I have hardwired it to see if it was the wiring or the pump an the pump is dead. I have called and left a message for Phil an sent him a text cus i would think this thing has some sort of warranty considering it hasnt even been a year an less than 5000 miles. It was installed properly an wired perfect and so dont know what the cause was. But need it fixed as its making the cars IATs skyrocket so just driving it as a normal car. I would probably just go back to a 010 pump an still may but need the connector now as well since i cut it off for the new pump.

That sounds annoying. The superflo are a rebranded version of what I seem to remember is a good quality pump so they should stand by it.
I seem to remember you have quite a few mods, the Bosch 010 might not cut it if you have extra tanks.
yeah i was thinking the 010 may not work either but im not shelling out another 350 for a pump that hasnt been used less than a year an round 5000 miles.
I'm about to put my second CWA50 in series with my first CWA50 with a DTK monster heat exchanger over the next couple weeks. You can get them some where around 70-80 $ used on ebay then another $15 for the plugs and stuff from FCP Euro. Two of them should flow a little more than a single superflo for much less. Guess it just depends on how long the used pumps will last to see how effective it is. My first one has been going strong for... well must be close to a year now I think.
I may have to do something like that if Phil doesnt come through but hes always treated me right so fingers crossed he stands behind his amazing pump for the price I paid for it.
thank you for the link though
What an offensive title for a Saturday post. Give the guy a chance to help you during business hours. Geez.

Well to you both i will kindly say mind your own posts and threads. I didnt ask if you think it was appropriate to post up a thread stating i "hope" someone backs up a product. Not to mention this post is neither aggressive nor rude towards Phil, i stated hes always taken care of me. I have never uttered a rude comment nor said anything other than positive comments towards him and his buisness. I have bought many things from him over the years and always been happy. There are many that do not like him and thats there problem ive always had his back an enjoyed his help and products.
It was simply a title .... meaning there is no implied warranty so therefore i am "hoping" there is for such an expensive part. So before trying to incite something thats not there stop reading into it in any other way than it is meant. I would never say anything rude or demeaning unless it was warranted. Me making a thread is simply a way to vent to fellow E55 owners of something that failed and shouldnt have so quickly. Maybe this failure is common an others have had this problem, then id know ahead about it and that this is expected. Maybe these pumps arent meant to be used for long periods of time, so then i hear bout it from other that it happens and its normal. Point is if i meant it in a rude or unprofessional manner my thread would not be so kindly put.

Haha, I found it very aggressive but who am I to judge.
OP, good luck with your problem.
Dont see anywhere in my title or post where it was aggressive i simply stated what happened an what i did and what happened. Some of you ultra sensitive snowflakes that take it as such really may want to start reading things as their written rather than insert your own emotion. Not once did i get rude an say why hasnt he answered me ... not once did i blame him ... not once did i say he better take care of it. So maybe realize this post is simply a way to let others that have purchased this pump that it may fail prematurely and to watch them. I wouldnt have even know if it werent for the fact i decided to bleed the system and noticed it not coming on.

Well decided to remove the pump to see if there was any reason it may not be working an found the front propeller was moving in an out which let coolant seep inside an fried the electrical board inside it. Took off the back seal an its toast inside.
This is the electric board on the backside no coolant should be getting into this area and u can see the burn part of the board
This is the backside cover you can see where it shorted and burned the inside of the cover.

completely agree carbs are great to get u big an strong they also are your enemy if u consume too many when your trying to lean out .... least in my case.

this is atleast for one of my friends very true. He eats carbs for dinner and helped him big time. He’s been working out for years.
