^ agreed, I also learned the hard way. With a damn procharger kit... SMH

 

Sorry to hear about this. I hate scammers. Leave a link to this thread in his iTrader feedback so at least he won't swindle anyone else.

... and NEVER use paypal without a credit card to back up your purchases!

PS. You may be able to get a turbo repair shop like Blouch in PA to fix it for much less than ATI and end up with a better product (billet wheel, etc) to boot.

 

^ Thanks rcdash, just sent Blouch an email - But by looking at their website it looks like they only work on Turbos

 

even if there wasn't a filter on it where was he driving to suck chunks of material into the impeller like that? Air coming into the blower doesn't do that....small dust in the air doens't do that. An object had to get inside there and then it makes me wonder how that got directly into the engine bay and into that.

 

wow good luck bud

btw the guy you bought it from had that kit on our local craigslist for awhile but i guess sold it cause its half the price

Thanks Sleek - Did he have an address posted on craigs list?

 

Waiting to hear on procharger - They have had the blower since Friday - Will post what the outcome is. Have been looking high and low on the forums for approx impeller replacement cost on the procharger and cant seem to find anything

 

Just heard from Procharger - The cost to replace the impeller and bearing came out to $918 Shipped back to me - They did say that besides the impeller the blower looked very clean and that it had very low miles. What do you think? Should I pull the plug and have it fixed -

 

You may as well. You won't be able to sell that kit as is for much money so you may as well fix it and enjoy it.

 

Just told Procharger to fix it - I should have it back by next week
