Message	I had a first gen and a second gen in my Z31's. First one was used off of eBay, and the brain started malfunctioning intermittently after 2 months and the solenoid failed after 3 months. The second gen in my last car lasted for 9 months before the solenoid gave out. And that one was purchased new. On another note, I also had an apex boost mechanical boost gauge which stopped returning to zero after 3 weeks. I personally DO NOT like apex products. I could be the only one in the world with that kind of bad luck, but that's just my experience. I've had my Blitz SBC-iD installed now for almost 6 months and haven't had any issues with it yet.
