They probably figured that if you hadn't really used it over 6 years, that 1 or 2 weeks more wasn't going to be a big deal.

Well SX Performance was not much better considering this isn't normal. It's almost 10 years old and doesn't have pitting so I won't complain. I'd rather be on the safe side and get a new parts. They'll be mailing out a new spring ($12) and guide ($8) tomorrow. I already had a rebuild kit that was $68 that included a diaphram, about 8 bolts and some different size orings.

"Hi Jack,

No, that corrosion is definitely not normal. I personally have never seen such extreme corrosion in the cover area. I wouldn't use that regulator if the spring has any pits in it after cleaning as that will cause a stress riser and possibly cause the spring to break. If you'd like I can sell you new internals and diaphragm assembly, just give us a call and we'll get you fixed up."

Yikes! You're scaring me Dave! My FD is @ KDR getting my diff built...going to pick it up this weekend. I might just have to take my Aeromotive apart to give it a check.

Check your FPRs boys....... I'll post in my build thread with moar details, but anyone running water injection (wiper fluid in my case) that has a boost reference post-injection may want to take a peak inside. Can't hurt and you may get a nasty surprise
