ALL procharger guys, get in here
Just the other day I put new shaft seals in my blower( as procharger wants 450 just to do that job, is 2 weeks turnaround *** that), as I was having a issue with(blower) oil getting on the MAF, in the IC piping, blowing a fine mist from the bypass valve. I have talked to the guys at procharger plenty of times, am on a first name basis with them.. They say it is normal to have some oil leakage from the impeller seal.. Well even with a brand new seal in there, it is doing the same freaking thing. My ??? to you all, have you or do you have a small mist of oil in your piping or misting from the bypass?? This is something that is a pet peeve to me, I am not liking it.

Hey John,
I've seen a small amount (teaspoon max) of Procharger oil pooling at the elbow before the intercooler and at least 6 or 7 kits I've worked on on dismantled for parts. I think a small amount is pretty common but I've never had it foul the MAF and mist out the bypass valve.
Did you replace more than one seal? If only one, could the other be leaking? I would think only the compressor seal could let oil into the cold pipes but is there anyway you can pinpoint which seal you replaced is leaking? Was there any scoring on the shaft that would let oil seep by?
I take it you ordered them from superchargerrebuilds? Maybe they can tell you how to track down the problem seal.

I've seen a small amount in the 90* elbow that exits my FMIC.It doesn't come out of my bypass or bother the maf.
1.You only put 6oz. in right?
2.Do you think their is still alot of oil in your piping and fmic from the old seal and it is causing the problem still?
3.Can you tell on your dipstick that it is losing oil?

We'll see. Like I said I am going to run it a bit. I am sure some oil is left in there. I only cleaned out the one elbow,so very poss. But it still has a small bit on the pipe directly in front of the bypass opening..

The whole time I ran the D1sc, I never had a drop of oil in the piping. It was always completely dry, even in the volute. Guess I had a good one.
Funny thing though, I had a rebuilt F2 (hadn't been run since rebuild) sitting on a stack of papers on my desk for a couple weeks. I had it sitting there intake side down so it would stand still. I picked it up the other day to ship it off to procharger for some extra work and the stack of papers was covered in a film of oil.
