Sounds like the bearings are worn, they use some kind of ceramic material as I remember. Powerdyne is located in So Cal and they can rebuild it but probably not cheap. I dont know how hard it would be to do yourself but there are these.

I have also read that you can get better bearings for these blowers too.

I belive the Ceramic bearings can be spun higher 60k to the std 35-45k. How fast do you want to turn the blower???

was reading that its better to have the cermics anyway because by the charger spinning fast it makes more boost with the same pulley.

but both kits say they are cermic i thought

so aslong as i get the cermic bearings huh?
