Thumbs down Yet...another reason to run a got-dang INTERCOOLER!

I came upon this today as I was diving threw Procharger/SC youtube vids and right at 7:00(ish) I paused it and then yelled....NO SH*T!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!

You guys know what im talking about, and listen to the amount of money this guy shells out as well and how after getting his blower back from "some guy on the inter-webs" without checking it over, then installs said blower and with no FMIC...precedes to rag the **** out of it. The impeller blows up and a chunk gets stuck in the TB between the blades so its stuck -WIDE OPEN-.

I mean....LOOK AT THAT IMPELLER!!!! WTF is that lil tea-cup cookie shaped thing doen their in place of a real impeller.


-Take it away boys.....

I think I would rather jump from a tall building than try to carry a casual conversation with that guy.

Sucks that his **** broke. Don't cheap out next time.
