I was driving down the highway when all the sudden my car started bogging down and my tcs/slip/SES lights came on. When I pulled over the sound at idle was horrible it was so loud I couldn't even tell where it was coming from. It had a feeling it was the S/c but it was dark and I had no tools. I had it towed into town and the next morning I pulled the s/c cog tensioner and belt and the sound went immediately away. Today I pulled the S/c to find this......

Any ideas on what could have caused it?

No warranty, it was on the car when I bought it and vortech said its non transferable. I sent it in once already back in april or so to have new seals and bearings installed.

what mileage on the sc?
think maybe one of the blades got fatigued and let go and thats why te others are chewed up so bad?
yes the internals can be replaced, vortech will probably charge nearly 600 bucks. I dont know how much a new blower cost but it may be best to get a new one thatll carry a 1 yr warranty.

The only other odd thing i saw was there was some fine oil sprayed around the area where the oil feed line is. The connection was good and I didnt see any breaks in the line......
I'll try to snap a pic but it may be to dark.
