Oh crap that sounds fatal...
I think your blower is in need for a FULL rebuild...not just the bearings and seals but also the gears...
That's what I had to get done to my blower when I sent it back to Vortech, becuase it started making this sound:

Sound familiar?

u think so? y? i talked to the guy at 928 and he told me he has never seen the gears go bad inside any vortech. so i hope is right! i let him listen to the car over the phone and he deff said bearings are shot so ya. u notice any power gains just w/ the impeller?

You talked to Carl huh? Great guy...
Well, for your sake I hope the gears aren't involved...
As for the gains on my setup, here's my thread, but it was coupled with a built engine and other mods...

However this guy below did just an impeller change, and he did got some gains...

I don't see how the gears could go bad. My blower sounds kinda loud...not the same as the videos but similar. It's always sounded like this though and I think it sounds fine so I'll leave mine intact for the moment.

BTW, this is that same blower from my video above after I got it repaired by Vortech (This is not my 928 impeller blower)
