Here, I ran some theories.
Here are my options.

GTR Twin Turbo Setup (Irreparable Blower)
[ ] +$2150 (Sell current a2a kit)
[ ] Trade a2a kit + bad blower + $100 for the full TT Setup
[ ] Pay $1400 to to install TT Setup
(Random estimate of ~40 hours labor)
[ ] Need to pay to take apart a2a kit and then pay for shipping of all parts
[ ] Install needs to be done either at friends house or if my house, then within 2 weeks max, preferrably 1 week of straight grinding, and make sure no oil spill mess and we are clean the entire time / organized, otherwise mom will kill me.

Total:
- $1500 OOP costs + Shipping of all parts?
- Low OOP cost
- Low risk build
- High power output
- Can be upgraded to hold 850whp
- Need to tune to limit TQ to 430ft lbs.
- Purchase High Quality Downpipes
(change address to PO Box in 95249)


V7-YSi / Novi 2200x (Repairable Blower)
[ ] ~$600 bearings replacement + labor
[ ] Sell blower ~$2500
[ ] Net gain: ~$1900
[ ] $1900 toward new blower, save up $2000 more for Paxton Novi 2200x
[ ] Potentially save ~$2200 by end of November to buy blower if work OT the entire month
[ ] Slap on Turbo Guard for air filter
[ ] Find bigger intercooler, piping, couplers, clamp sizes, new SC belt, pulley sizes & maybe make same Y pipe but bigger pipes to match blower size diff between v3 and v7?
[ ] Need to find buyer for blower
Total:
- $2200 high OOP costs
- Low Risk build
- High Powered Output
- Easily achieve 700whp with limiting TQ to 430 ft lbs. with tune
- Use same current a2a setup with bigger couplers and piping?


928 Fully Upgraded v3 Blower (Repair&Keep)
[ ] IF SHAFT NOT BENT.... ($600 - $1600)
Buy new bearing and impeller, have it rebuilt
[ ] Put shipping plug on both ends to prevent oil from spouting out
[ ] Risk of blowing out seals due to X amount of pressure being made in contained blower
[ ] Risk destroying blower again, wasting $1600 that coulda been spent toward a new blower
[ ] Come up with a custom oil return line fitting so spilled oil goes right back into the blower
[ ] Come up with a way to measure inside pressure made from blower when spinning super fast?
Total:
- Wide Range OOP costs pends what broke
- Medium Risk build
- Pushing limits of V3 blower power output
- Use same current a2a setup, no change


Ill need to wait til I get back from work this week to open the blower and see what is wrong with it.
That will be the determining factor of the direction I go as far as:
TT or SC route (Paxton or YSi)
