2 Quick Questions....

Hey Guys, I just replaced my Lower Intake Manifold gaskets on my GTP.

http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...15#post5963415

A couple quick questions...

First and foremost, my supercharger.... I heard some coupler rattle so I bought a ZZP coupler and some supercharger oil. The plan was to replace the coupler once I got the supercharger off. The once I got it off, the bearings felt sort of rought and made a little noise. Then I looked inside and saw what looked like some case scoring on the rotors. What do you guys think? (look towards the left of the rotors in the second picture)






Also, this thing, I forget the name... (10 demerit points right? ) Should I replace it? It looks half torn.

Do you have an intercooler installed as well?

Thanks, I was wondering that too.

That part is stock. I will probably replace it at some point, but have other things I need to do to the car first. Thanks!
