Well, i went out and pulled the filter off and sure enough, the blades have some deformation on the tips and i could see from scrapped metal on the housing. Looks like ive got to send it back to vortech. I think this might have been a day one issue.
I still believe my bearings went out as well, they make the same noise as the other guys video.
What was your turn around time?
Thanks matt for the offer! Ill pm ya.

sorry to hear that your compressor fan is hitting the housing... seems like a lot of them are having this problem recently... it may be a bad batch of blowers... do keep us all posted on your progress, though...

yeah it sucks. I dont know if shell be back up in time for the fall meet! I cant take it off till this weekend and then have to wait for vortech to return it. NA ftl!
i need to borrow someones intake tube, any takers? Ill pay shipping.
Wow! This is like an epidemic!! CUxtopher, did you get your Vortech new also?? Mine lasted about 2000 miles before it started scraping metal. Vortech better take a look at what they are doing that is making all of these SC's go bad. Now I am starting to think it's not a coincidence and that a batch of bad SC's got shipped out by Vortech. Luckily for me, GTM is taking care of dealing with Vortech since they installed it on my car.
