the problem apparently is in the drive gears... the oil feed line 'mists' oil into the fine-mesh gearing.. if the oil is too thick, doesn't mist, the gears run dry, and snap on the stiff-frozen driveshaft...

and all to make the supercharger quiet. I'm not going to beat on it this winter, because I don't need to find out what other people are reporting.. that the supercharger breaks. If you guys want to pony up for the replacement ahead of time, I'll be more than glad to give it a go for the sake of experimentation.


There's too much evidence of these things breaking in 32F weather.. never mind the -20C's of canadian weather.

I've already had to tow the car 3 times this summer because of things that 'shoulda' worked... and that's when even the theoretical proof leans in the positive direction. I won't take any 'experts' words on s**t anymore until they can physically prove their points. I'm sick and tired of being other people's guinea pig.

p.s. that's why I give props to p-51.. dude does stuff, it works, and he proves it on his own equipment. Other tuner shops, experts in the field are no where near as successful with their 'theories', and it's permanently jaded me.
