Installed the SC today :-)
well, it is with deep regret that i post this picture, my first of the blower.
i was tuning tonight, and everything went well. when i got back home, i popped the hood to check everything over, and there was oil EVERWHERE! i mean, theres oil from the timing cover on over to the passenger fender everywhere. Theres oil on my trunk lid!! is that a seal behind the pulley, the teal colored thing? could it be the source of the oil explosion? its the only thing i found that was different. everything else seemed ok. i spent the last 3 hours pulling everything apart and for now im back to NA. what the heck is going on here?

i checked the drain back hose, its fine... no cracks, and it was as tight as can be. the timing chain cover is fine, its running N/A now.
so im right in assuming all the oil just came out of that seal? how could it have come out like that? anyways, so you think all i need to do is tap that seal back in or replace it and try again? i hope thats all it is, id hate to have to send in a rebuilt blower for a rebuild.

right, the pulley slid off of the blower a tiny bit. but can it pull the seal with it? lol, i mean, its just the pulley sliding off the shaft. im still trying to figure out how the seal just blew out like that, granted i was pushing this thing hard while tuning.
UPDATE:
spent the early hours tapping the seal back in. i put some sealant on it. i also fixed the pulley sliding off issue. so thats good now. even fixed a slight kink in the return hose. so ill chalk the pulley and kink up to installer error. but i put the supercharger back on, and everything is great now. The blower is even SILENT!!! im guessing before since there was a leak by that seal, it wasnt building sufficient oil pressure to lube the bearing, etc, so now its very quiet. It sounds so much better. I also went ahead and put on a 3.5 inch cold air intake. Its pretty damn sexy. Anyways, it feels awesome. thanks everyone for your help. PIcs and videos coming very soon.
