Well.... project has come to a complete standstill...

Headunit is a piece of crap. Its going in the trash. It was producing 0 boost, when i popped off the pipes to check, I found Oil all in the I/C pipes(just up until the downward bend to the intercooler- no oil past that bend)
the seal is leaking oil into the volute chamber, yet i had new seals installed 6 months ago, go figure.
Also there are small chunks of the outside edges of the impeller missing. it doesnt look like they broke off but that they had been that way for a while.
The impeller wont even come off the shaft so I can check the seals. Im just very dissapointed in my overall purchase of the headunit considering that was the only real piece i ended up keeping and using out of the used kit i bought.

Later today I'm just setting the car up with the stock belt configuration so I can at least drive the car like normal for the time being. The Intercooler and custom rad setup will all remain in the car to be used with the new headunit. Since its still a stock engine, Im just gonna go for a procharger d1sc, no need for an F1. And the oil supply/return pump will now be up for sale. I'll buy the new supercharger in a few days once I relax a little and bring myself to spend the money....
