still no problems here...but I was looking at the feed and return lines for the oil system. How much bigger than the inlet should the return be? The return is much bigger than the tiny oil inlet. Granted the blue rubber part of the inlet is bigger, but the 90 degree connector off the engine is very small. I would think that return would be plenty of sizing to keep up with what that inlet was providing.

Of course the input is under pressure, whereas the return is simply a drain...

ive been following this post but I thought the people w/ the header that is closer to the S/C would yield more heat and could be the cause of the break? ....this was disproved?

SimplyScion, sorry to hear about your problem, but you seem to be unique, or just part of a VERY small percentage of "MURPHY's LAW" defects.

yea, it makes me wonder how many s/c are out there modded or unmodded with problems compared to how many superchargers are out there.
