HKS EVC V took a dump

For the last few days I have had my boost controller in and out of the car because the damn thing didn't want to work. I have had it in the car for 6-7 months with no problem at all, then all of a sudden BAM 40psi on the display then the warning chime started. Looked down at my other boost gauge to find that I was in vacuum. I called HKS and was told that they never had a stepping motor come back that was defective. I tested my stepping motor with a new one and the entire system worked flawless. Looks like HKS is about to see a first.

I have heard horror stories about the time it takes to diagnose the problem. Anyone ever have to send something back to them? Good? Bad? Let's hear you stories.

I heard if you send it back and they cannot find a prob, they charge you. If they DO find a problem, then you just pay shipping.

Sux it went bad, I hope its an isolated problem.....
