The BW lifetime guarantee gets my vote though.
A lifetime guarantee does not make it better though and many such guarantees are not pursued when a failure happens because people forget or the car has changed owners.
I have only had one CPS fail and that was in a 1993 Chrysler Concorde, it died in the garage overnight with no warning, done like dinner, kaputsky, fried, toast.
In the last few years I have had two mercedes and a Crossfire. The Bosch CPS's failed in all three vehicles. At this point I am open to any other brand other than Bosch. While I understand that other brands may fail as well, I went with the lifetime guarantee to ensure I don't ever have to pay for one again. Trust me, I will not forget about the guarantee. I can only cross my fingers that Borg Warner is better. If not, I have gotten very good at replacing them in just a couple of minutes. I have bought a ton of BW parts back in my drag racing days and they always produced high quality parts. I bet even Doc has given Borg Warner a few bucks back in the day as well. It wouldn't suprise me at all if the Ebay one for under $19 shipped is better than the Bosch.
