ok , well it was just a question I asked. i think my orig blower that came with the kit had the bearings fail due to oil starvation due to me overspinning the blower. G trim with 2.75 pulley shifting at 6700 rpm.
The bearings when they failed sounded horrible! it was like I had rocks in my motor.
I'm getting some oil in my intake but i discovered its not from the blower its because my pcv vacuum line on my intake tube is connected to my passenger valve cover and sucking in oil.
i'm trying to concoct (sp?) a simple solution without having to buy a catch can, braided lines, yadda yadda.
