Vortech; Taking Blower Off Need Help
Going to be sending off the blower tomarrow for repair and I heard there is a way to make the car still drivable. I know I need to block the oil feed lines and also fab a air filter to the intercooler pipe. Anyone have more detailed info and or hints to do this? Thanks

What I do is , take out the whole oil squirter and just put in inside the oil return hose and clamp it down with the clamp thats on the hose . Easy as pie . I use a furnace filter and cut a square out of it and clamp it over the end of the MAF section of IC pipe . This way you dont have to suck air thru the IC and all the pipes .
Miight want to reset the ECU so it will run and idle better also .

it is drivable but remember your going to be adding allot of fuel around 3k and higher so I would drive it at low rpms,. nothing wrong with being rich

Any concern with the filter being sucked into the intake??

Just to give you an heads up....when you get the blower back from Vortech make sure that you do NOT over tighten the oil feed nozzle or else it will break in half.
