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.

4 batteries ....

I have a bunch of makita tools already so 4 new 5.0ah batteries will be nice. I have a few older 3.0ah that just don't have the pop for the angle grinder or circle saw. Even the drill is meh on a 3.0. I have 3 3.0, 2 4.0, and 2 5.0ah batteries already.

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.

and ultimately who's in charge of all of this?

Need to go pick up a few wrachet straps and some more clamps. The spoiler can fit more flush and be pushed in more to be fully secured in place.
