I could of had one for under $25,000 before I bought the Z.

I'm no supercharger specialist but I think I might have found my problem.

Are you running that filter screen or a complete filter? If you are running the screen, someting went Wong.

I'm running the screen but I don't believe that was the issue. Look at the broken section right by the shaft. It's dirty like it has been cracked for a while and finally let go. There is no damage at all to any other fins and I can see where the fin(s) were rubbing on the volute. From day one after the blower was installed after getting it back from 928 motorsports, my builder said it didn't sound right. I contacted 928 at the time and they said it was normal but it was a lot noisier than when I was running the stock vortech blower.

Yeah, that blade had a crack in it for a while. The dark are is an indication of that. Stress finally got to it. Be interesting to do a dye check on the impeller to see if there is other defects. I'm surprised that the volute doesn't show any damage. Wonder if any damage behind the impeller. DID you find that missing piece? Pieces can go anywhere. They can get spit out to the front. Or get grounded up and inhaled.

I'm surprised that the shaft doesn't have a nose piece over the threads of the shaft to help with air flow.

The volute does have a shallow groove in it. Obviously the fin(s) were rubbing on it. There's definitely damage inside or it wouldn't be making the loud whine. Nope, didn't find the missing piece, I'm assuming it's inside. I'm just hoping it didn't damage the gears then it might be worth rebuilding. After I get my new blower installed, I'll take this blower to vortech and have them open it up and evaluate it.

I would try to find that piece. If it didn't spit it out. Then it's in your piping, or intercooler.
