When do you need to rebuild the factory blower?

I had to rebuild mine after a crappy hand port job.

That sucks. Yeah I’ve read alot of blower failures that can lead to other damage.

American Racing 2” primaries and American Racing catless X pipe. Don’t get me wrong, it’s loud when you get on it. But just driving when the NPP exhaust is not open, sounds reasonably stock.

Can't say enough about Greg @ Kong. I had him do an X-port for my 2015 Z06. Great customer service!! Always responds. The shipping container works great. The final product is a permanent smile on my face.

I added the taller lid from MPI. Brent @ MPI is also great to deal with. Great customer service & great product.

I'm 54 w/2" AR headers & catless X pipe. Music when you want it and quiet with the npp on.

I went with Ported LT4 + Weapon X lid ,Carbon Air Tube with GM CAI.. I have the Soler ported TB, but really need to go bigger for the ported snout, but I have to wait to get my Corsa pipes on before retuning anyway.. I did not like the pulley.. went back to oem seemed to run hotter and I don't drag race mine

personally I would look into as much cooling as you can possibly do. synergy hidden tanks, ported blower, better bricks, taller lid and larger lines, emp pump will allow you to use all the power your wanting. so many people ad power neglect cooling and then complain the car heats up and powers down. match the intake to the 103 to the snout to the blower. less restriction = power. with better cooling and a ported setup you can then run a lower pulley which ups the boost a few psi yet allows for better wrap. combined with a proper tune you should be able to not only see the goals you want but use them as well.

something else to consider as you add power. the valve train in stock form is pure sh@*. weak springs bad lifters dod/afm garbage. its well worth the money to eliminate all of that run a ls3 style cam gear and delete the vvt as well. ls style lifters double beehive springs and pushrods and you now have a motor that will last the life your looking for. doing a cam at this time is just a bonus in fueling and lifespan

I can't hide the billet 103mm the ported Soler easier to hide, but I know it's not as good for the ported snout.
