supercharger rebuild looks like its time for a rebuild on my vortech v-1. pulled off the lower air tube to change air filter and there was a decent amount of oil in it. maybe like a tablespoons worth so im assuming the seals are starting to go. anyone have a recommendation on who i should ship it out to as well as a ballpark price on the rebuild. thanks

It may not need a rebuild. The way the PCV/fresh-air system works while supercharged it sucks a lot of oil through the fresh-air tube while in boost...
Cleanout the supercharger and tubing and put a catch-can on the fresh-air tube and see if you still get a lot of oil buildup in a short amount of time... If not then your seals are fine.

ya i noticed when i removed the air tube to the intake that there was very little oil buildup. how would i go about mounting a catch can? or do you have a picture of one already done so i can get an idea. the problem is the fresh air tube is in a very very tight spot.
