Got my new replacement supercharger in today and installed on my car. So I'm all fixed and ready to go. I put off some mods i wanted to do because I was able to be fixed so fast. Dyno-Comp hooked it up and banged out this swap no problem. Man these guys find ways to fit people in to the schedule and get things done fast. The car is running great and I wll have some fresh dyno numbers most likely Thursday.
Here are some pics of the blown bearings and gouged up rotors.

I didnt even have to drive it. So the Bang Bus was left to collect more tire dry rot. I was able to shut my supercharger down and pull out some timing and the car was completely derivable with out the supercharger, extremely slow but it beats the mini van. All is good in the hood now, or should I say under the hood.

Just one question please:
Where did all of the shavings from the blower go?
I would bet they did not get stopped in the I/C, so you may want to take a borascope to your cylinders my friend. Just food for thought, as I would hate to see the next problem for you being an engine replacement.
Good luck my friend, and go POUND the track again
See yeah

not sure about the AMG piece, but on a centrifugal blower (vortech), running high boost levels with no bypasss valve will do that. when the valve sees high vacuum (throttle body closed) it dumps the boost through the valve, so it doesnt build up in the the intake tract and damage the impeller. pretty sure my whipple had one on it also, but that was a good 15 yrs ago...lol
