Default supercharger died.
It went with a whimper.
Lower bearings went out.
Lost the impeller.
I can get a new one but they want so damn much for one.
This is sickening, half of my horse power is gone.
It gave no sign at all that any thing was going bad.
I got 3 1/2 years and over 75000 miles out of it.
I guess at some point and time I will rebuild it.

Your posts are always like some sort of poetry
What caused the failure?
Which blower were you running?
Why not bite the bullet
and get it rebuilt?
Oh, sorry for your loss

That suck bro! I take it that nothing else was broken right? I think it's your engine telling you that you need an upgrade!

Yeah, same question. No signature, no info in your profile. I'm sure that I'll remember your whole story as soon as you remind us all. I hope that you are not insulted that I didn't memorize it.
