Exactly why I didn't put a shipping plug in mine.

Not sure lol.
Perhaps maybe they only say it for the 928 upgraded internals? Honestly I'm still confused as to if vortech really said that or if 928 just is putting words in their mouth.

I would trust the original manufacturer, Vortech, and not 928 and NOT risk it. Use a bit less SC oil as suggested and USE the vent plug.

Thats what seized my blower in the first place. Doing exactly that...

I mean I can do that again, I just need to buy 100 bottles of SC oil so I can keep refilling it every couple days lol..and I'd continually have a mess in my engine bay due to engine spilling everywhere.

Or...

I can plug both holes up.

Or...

I can come up with some custom solution to circumvent this issue, and if it works, I can increase the PSI with no issue at all while still keeping all the oil in the blower lol

If plugging both holes fails me, I'll rebuild it a 2nd time and this time, I will use my last resort plan, which I think may work
