Default No...
they are not serviceable, like the Forge is. (not that it makes it any better or worse...). Bailey's do eventually need serviced, but they carry a lifetime warranty. AWETuning replaced mine at no charge (thanks, guys).

Default when that happens do they send you a new one and then you return the old, or
do you have to return the old and THEN they give you a new one?

How'd you realize it was bad? Was it leaking boost? or not letting boost escape?

so you had downtime, or had to replace it with a stock part in the mean time?

Bad= boost leak. I have a boost gauge, and my power was way down.
