Typically, these steel caged bearings are pretty tough to break unless there is significant tension being placed on the pulley shaft. The unit has had the pulley size changed since the last time it was here and the shipping plug was never removed and replaced with the new vent fitting that was sent back with the unit before being run.

The unit will need to be replaced as it is unrepairable, a new unit will need to be purchased thru Stillen directly.
Please let me know if you would like the unit back as is, there is a $100.00 inspection fee if sent back, if not and we scrap it there is no fee at all. "

Thoughts on what my next steps could be? Confused as to why they're sending me through stillen for the blower..Didn't even know the pulley was changed. Giving them a call tomorrow. Wanted to update everyone.

It has to be purchased through Stillen because of CARB. Vortech is not allowed to sell superchargers or supercharger parts within California due to them not being CARB approved. Stillen has CARB approval for their supercharger system. Bureaucratic ********.
