    View of the valves. They are coated in aluminum shavings




    View of the aftercooler as i removed it... Covered with chunks of aluminum from the chewed up rotors


    The charger. Looks like the bearing failed and the rotors walked into the casing and chewed everything to pieces. Remember this is a freshly rebuilt, modded charger from Stiegmierer...







    Just for fun- full tear down in the drive way. Look for a part out soon more than likely





    Dont know where to go from here- the blower is toast though. Maybe stiegemeier will make it right maybe not idk yet. Just gotta figure out what to do with the car.

    That's no good... Hoepfully they take care of you in regards to the blower and perhaps the motor just needs to be disassembled and cleaned.

    Yea we will see- i think the blower is unfixable judging by how torn up the rotor pack and casing is. The motor has no compression in 3 cylinders so i think it might need a rebuild... We will see

    Wow, that was fast! Nice work! Were the piston rings just damaged? And the vales?

    Pistons/ cylinder walls look fine- minus the aluminum shavings on the piston crowns. The head looks like it will need some work- there are shavings stuck in the valves, which would explain my lack of compression in 3 cylinders. Im going to look into a fresh rebuild- something that will support some more boost
