evldave is off the scale
Default Re: To Turbo or to Supercharge, that is the question.

When offroading it is possible that the vehicle will be more than 15 degrees off horizontal. What is the potential for supercharger failure?
How long will it last in this condition?
If it does fail would it be considered an out of warenty failure?

c'mon no one actually gets their H3 more than 15 degrees from horizontal! Hummer uses a special oil pickup on the I-5 as a poser mod, not one that's actually needed. I just measured and I only get 3-4 degrees going over curbs - that's the worst offroading I'd ever want to subject my H3 to in real-life situations.
