Sorry to hear that Paul. I'm sure the D1SC will work well but sucks to spend the money.

As of this moment I'm seriously considering going back to stock and forgetting all about it.
If i do the D1SC or even the cheaper P1SC, I have to do a whole new bracket design, maybe add a crank pulley for a separate blower belt etc etc.
Almost not worth it...

the rebuild company doesn't warranty their work. and at this point it would need at least 1300 in repairs...
for a grand more, I can get a equivalent P1SC procharger, and then i can sell off the oil pump for 250 or so...

Gotcha.
If you just bought the oil pump, fuel hotwire, etc can't you return it for all your money?

oil pump is now "used", can't really return that as new. The injectors and hotwire kit have not arrived yet so those I could send back if i decide to go back to stock, otherwise i'd still need those with any supercharger. The procharger are at least self contained oiling so that is more simple.

Those chunks missing on the outer edge look too smooth for a failure, looks like previous crack/failure smoothed out.
Can you just grab some seals, and new wheel?

id need a new impeller shaft too it seems. between a new wheel shaft seals bearings etc, im looking at that 1300
*Edit, just got the response on repair costs from the rebuild company...
"To replace bearings, seals, labor and rtn s/h is $480.
Add $375 for an impeller, and add $325 for an impeller shaft, so worst
case would be $1180..."
So then figure 30 or so for shipping to TX... and that's $1,210... ( and still wont be any warranty)

my options are:
rebuild powerdyne $1200 and cross my fingers
procharger p1sc $2400(would need all new brackets made too)
go back to stock and sell off parts already installed/used
Due to the fact im considering engagement before the new year, money IS a factor currently. Up until this point i was ahead by doing a custom install but a rebuild would put me at what a magnacharger would have cost.
Also im thinking in a year or so, I may made in the V for a V2. So stock will be ok for now...
im gonna take my time making the decision.

This really sucks Paul. In my personal opinion, you should keep at it. You have too much time in this thing to warrent no results at all. If it were me I would do what it takes to make it right

In all seriousness, you should look at how much you have in it, how much you can get back by selling it all, how much you'll lose, and how much to finish it. With the engagement, I think I'd keep the toy as cheap and reliable as possible.

i'm going to try to fully disassemble the SC this weekend and see if i can see the exact problem. seals are under 100 and an impeller is 325-375 so if i can keep the repairs under $500, ill go for it and fix it myself.

I can't see a reason why it wouldn't make boost even with the chips in impeller. Did you check to see if bypass valve is stuck open?
As for the chips & seals leaking, that is complete b.s. that the company that did the work won't do something for you. You've documented the entire build here. that proves s/c was never ran since rebuild. I would pursue some sort of action with them. And I find it hard to believe chips in impeller were there when the recieved it and they didn't notify you that they were there. That tells me they did the damage to impeller when pulling it off to replace seals (if they even did replace seals) Those seals shouldnt be leaking already.
When I had the s/c, I had 11psi after the intercooler and no oil in my pipes. I think they did you dirty.
Dont give up on build, you have alot of time into it, and if you do the work your self on the s/c it won't be that hurtful on your pocket.

Paul I would find someone more local to rebuild it with some sort of warranty, or buy the parts and R&R it yourself

Tear down of the SC is complete...
I need an impeller, impeller shaft seal, and 1 impeller shaft bearing(bearing caging is broke so would soon fail) The seal that was installed was just junk. I found a supplier of a better designed one. That should be about $40. The replacement bearing may be $50-100, and the impeller will be around $400.
After seeing how simple it is to tear down a SC unit, there is NO way i'd ever send it out again for any repairs. So easy to do at home.
