Leaky ProCharger

[Nolyaw]

My P1-SC-1 has been sappy with oil on the bottom of it since day one of the install. Its not the drain plug. ATI said it may be the oil from the PVC hose that is installed on the end of the air filter. I took the Volute off of the SC and checked for oil where it ingests air. Behind the turbine looks fine so I dont think the seal is Blown. But there was oil in the bottom of the volute. I cant tell with certainty that its engine oil or green ATI oil. Has anyone experienced this on a Pro Charged vehicle or on their 2005 GT? Just feel underneath the blower and see...

I have heard MANY issues with leaking prochargers,which is the main reason I did not go with one..hope all works out and let us know

are you sure you tighten the plug good? I heard someone else had that issue and never checked it when he bought it.. after he tighen it up it was all good.. I put some muscle behind mine when I installed it. But I'm still in my "break in phase" did you break yours in for the 500mi?

I have already had one oil change,gorilla tightened it, and the oil is still there. I removed the blower and set it up on my bench overnight. Thats how I saw where the oil was coming from, between the 'snail' and the casing. So I took the snail off and found the oil in there. Now I have beat the piss out of my car,and driven it hard at full boost, so keep an eye on yours after you've been boosting. I'm pretty sure that its oil from the PVC system.
