I have traced a boost leak to the housing of my novi 1000. Leaking right at the back where it meets the blower where the 8 bolts hold it down. Paxton says there is no gasket there and you have some sort of issue. I just had it rebuilt less then 3k ago. Any thoughts how I might fix this, I would love not to have the car down for another 2 weeks while its at Paxton

 

How much was the s/c rebuild, did you do a full rebuild or just seals?

 

There was no warranty on thier work?

 

Well they did a full rebuild but while putting on my FMIC I had to rock the housing and stripped one of those bolts. I tapped it to a larger size so I doubt there will be a warranty. Also there is no seal on the housing. Its metal to metal.
I was thinking a strong gasket maker???

 

yeah, how much was the rebuild? source?

was it a complete rebuild?

with mine the bearings are quiet as hell, can i just have the seals replaced? i cannot locate an illustrated parts breakdown of the supercharger/internals, don't suppose anybody has this?

 

Did you rebuild yours already? My bearings are loud and the more I listen to it the more I think they're on tehir way out and gettng loud. What bearings silenced the blower for you?

 

I had paxton do it. $400

 

so you think this is the reason you were seeing such boost lose with the ur fmic?

 

I hope so, there was a leak for sure so we will see. Looks like its going back to Paxton tomorrow so it will be some time before I know.

 

with a fmic your will lose anywhere between 1 and 3 psi of boost just to let ya know getting my info from many other situations i've read with sc's and fmic's here on s2ki
