i can order the parts today or tomorrow and get it all back together by the end of next week
Edit: Oil seal has been ordered, and just waiting on the invoice for the bearings and impeller so I can send payment for those.
Edit#2: All parts have now been ordered and paid for.
Here are some pics... a very simple mechanical device....

project is officially dead.
Going back to stock in the near future.
new impeller and bearings came, got the bearings in fine, but the impeller got stuck halfway on and cracked while trying to get it back off, then took another hour to get the damaged impeller off, and swap the old one back on, but now it seems the impeller shaft is bent.
I am DONE with this project.
Parts will be sold off to get back at least half of what I have invested.

That's really rough. Sorry, man. Hopefully everything sells quickly.
You think the integrity of the impeller was jeopardized from being ported? No wonder Powerdyne got a bad rap.

it was a brand new billet impeller, custom made for one seller. only type/version available
powerdyne parts were all fine, they got a bad rap due to people over-boosting the belt driven units.

I can afford repairs, that's not it. Its just that it isn't worth it beyond the point I've reached. Repairs would be at least $800+. The point was to do this all for less than any kit(for an average car).
Im at the point of diminishing returns, time to cut my losses and bail.
The car will still beat most of your cars on the highway...
My plans now are to go back to stock.
The lease on my Cruze is up in 18 months... when I turn that in, I'll trade this V in for a '09+ V.
Problem solved then.
