    Look on ebay for a supercharger rebuild kit. It should come with bearings a coupler and supercharger oil.

    It looks like you may need your impellers re-coated. They were definitely grinding on the housing. I would just get a new s/c from here or a local junkyard

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.

    Sudbury eh...the big nickel. Been there twice..

    Anywho...that scoring in the housing cant be good, but i'm not a supercharger guy, I work with Diesels with Turbo's all day long on farm equipment.

    I dont think the coating is the issue at the moment, I would be more concerned with the condition of the case.

    i'd just get a used s/c they are cheap enough, i bet it cost less to get a used one than rebuild yours, and your case is in bad shape it will never flow right.

    I would just rebuild with new bearings. The coating and housing are bad, but nothing that would cause it to catastrophically fail or tick etc.
