Whipple owners BEWARE!!!!!

I just called...they would not let me order over the phone :nonono: Oh well, going to send in the order form.

I do not have any play or oil seepage....oil level is perfect thru sight glass, but I'm not going to take any chances as this blower has been run at 22psi for a long time now. 17 psi before that. Blower build date is from 07. Once I get the new coupler in I will post a pic of the original coupler.

The guy never gave me his name. I asked if I happened to be talking to Mike or Dustin...he said he wasn't and they weren't available (lol). I then asked can I order over the phone, he said no I have to fill out the order form off the website. I was like "ok". I hate when they won't give me a name. Guy was nice enough I suppose...but very anxious to get off the phone because other lines were ringing. Maybe I'll call back :shrug:

Btw....he told me the part number for the high HP coupler is:

WP-PCHPWH
$85

Thanks James for refreshing this thread. I need to examine my coupler as well. I have a generation 1 2.3. I need to crack it open anyway because I seem to be using a very small amount of oil. It's strange because everything is bone dry, no apparent leaks anywhere around, and I know my Whipple isn't just using oil, not at the rate that I have to top it off every once in a while anyway? Oh well, the joys of a used TS, what can ya do? Anyway, thanks again for passing along the info to rest of us man.

Got mine swapped today. The original looks like new, no signs of even the slightest fracture. Like I posted earlier, this blower has a build date in '07, ran 17psi '07 to '09...then essentially 22psi since 2009 to present.
