Thanks Pete, I'm going to see if the filter relocation takes care of the issue first before I try that, but I'll keep it in mine for sure. I relocated the filter in the fall when temps drop significantly here in Canada so my heat soak issues weren't evident.
I have some sad news! So it turns out there was a mix up and the -91 I was going to buy was sold and now there is a brand new -81 left. I am devastated by this news, but question is what to do now?
I already have an -81 but its in hurting condition. The drive pulley has a little play in it, but it isn't a snapped input shaft since it still makes boost. The oil is cavitating which makes me think the seal and bearings for the input shaft are toast since as described it was making a terrible grinding bearing noise before it came off the road.
I was thinking about getting a new bearing and seal kit to try and rebuild it before I call it a write off even though rotrex says they can't be rebuilt. A bearing kit is only 200ish so to me it's worth a shot even if the rebuild doesn't last terribly long.
On the other hand I was offered if I take this -81 to be given a snow performance cool boost 3 water/meth controller. Essentially I could buy the stage 1 kit for 300ish and have the stage 3. This is tempting me but also not sure if if makes up for not being a 91.
What are your thoughts people? I paid just under $1500 after conversion and Paypal fees for the -91, and now that it isn't one I'm stumped. I only paid $1000 for my last -81 so I feel like its too much to get the same thing I already had. This new -81 is said to only have 2-5 hours of road testing after dyno tuning was complete, which I believe since the seller is an extremely trust worthy guy.
So people's, what do I do? I am selling my drag cartel drop in cams for 750, so that plus this 1500 could put me within price range of a new -91. But that's also a lot of extra coin when the water meth for 300 will likely add 50whp, estimated to be the same power added by upgrading to the -91
