Dap of Oppo...I think you were lucky not to have a total internal meltdown......
Sorry to hear about the problem but an interesting question it is!! I have a friend (lurking in here somewhere) that is facing the same question.....Which compensator to go for??
I myself have had the Centa Compensator conversion.....not due to any failure to the HD compensator but due to stator/rotor failure after which our dealer in Sweden recommended the Centa kit conversion. This was last winter. but since I have learned that the stator/rotor issue probably was due to the well known issue with engine running hot due to the restricting baffles in exhaust and air filter constriction. My friend also had the stator/rotor meltdown but a couple of months before me and he had the original compensator installed....needless to say he had a yet another stator/rotor meltdown.
So his question is also which compensator to go for? Almost the same option as you:
1. Replace with Centa Drive original version
2. Replace with Centa Drive Phil Bleazey version?
3. KH version?
Have you not had any problems with the HD compensator and overheating of stator/rotor?? Or did you remove the cats baffles early in you M3W ownership?
Input from anyone with KH version compensator or Bleazey kits would be very appreciated!
