Anyone selling a GTP Blower?

[Dasfinc]

He has a 99 GTP, and his supercharger is on its way out, so he either needs a replacement, or will do the genV Upgrade.

On that note, what all is needed for the upgrade, any write-ups?

What do you mean on the way out.... are you sure it isn't the usual $30 coupler that goes bad

any articles on coupler replacement/symptoms?

To my understanding he had a coupler fail on a previous car, but it didn't make the same type of noise that his car is currently making.

What all is needed to replace the coupler?

Sounds like it's full of rocks. You can take the belt off and rotate the pulley back and forth to "see" how much slop it's got.

I think zzp has a kit for it. Comes with oil, coupler and that red high temp sealer stuff

You're supercharger is rattling and you're afraid it's going to start spraying parts around? Fear not! Your supercharger's bark is worse than it's bite. Stock couplers commonly wear over time and their holes become oblong which leads to that dreaded rattling sound. Our couplers are CNC machined and oil impregnated for a finer, exponentially more durable finish than the stock part and carry a lifetime warranty. You'll never have to hear that rattle again!

How bad is a Gen V swap to do?

 

[PANDA]

If he wants to pay 6X+ the price of a replacement gen 3 blower go ahead. He will need a Gen V LIM, new bolts, gaskets, a TB adapter and a bit of custom work. Kinda a waste of money unless he is "going big" with the car. Its probably just a coupler dude.

I have one with 40k on it. Need it gone. I have alot of other parts too.

I don't know SHIT about 3800's, let alone common M90 failures

I told him he should replace the coupler
