Default help with vortech supercharger

Hi guys. I am new to this site and I have a question. I have a vortech V9 supercharger and its is making a loud screeching noise during operation and is making no power. I'm guessing a bearing has spun out can anyone help me or direct me to what I can do? Thanks.

If its a blower bearing.....Vortech say you must return it to them for repairs.


Depending on actual damage though, if its just bearings, it is possible to repair yourself if you can source suitable bearings, and have a press.

took it off yesterday. Seems as though the gearing is stripped. When you move the pulley the impellar does nothing. I have to send it off to vortech. Time to start saving.
