    So, the SC is toast, the bearings are shot (you can listen to it here.). I ordered a rebuilt one from PSE Supercharger in Edmond, OK (anybody watch Street Outlaws in the 405?). Also having it ported and 3.4 pulley installed so it will be plug-n-play when it gets here.

    Sooo...when I bought this car last year, the PO said that the LIM was done, and it doesn't appear to be leaking at this time...BUT...once the SC is off the LIM gasket is only a few bolts away. Do I re-do it just because or let it ride? Looks like the metal gasket is in there now.

    While the fuel rail is off, I'm planning to send the injectors to Mr. Injector to have them ultrasonically cleaned and flow balanced, with new pintles and O-rings. I'v used him a few times before with great results, and reasonably priced too. Turnaround is about a week.

    Anything else I should be looking at? 102k on the clock now.
