also for the record, i was on my way home when the sound started. i pulled over and checked everything out and knew instantly it was the s/c internals, it sounded like the nut backed out of the impeller and was stuck in the turbine, but it was not the case upon disassembly.. i didnt drive around too much like this, maybe 3-4 at the most. was enough to break off a fin, it was that violent of play.

Thanks for PM'ing me also to try to get this worked out. I appreciate it. You can call me if you want: 678 438 9031
now that's being a good businessman I know who i'm going to for parts if i ever go supercharged
Wahhh don't say that statement "if i go supercharged"! Turbo and you wont have as many problems! Haha.
lol i know, key word was if. If I had the money to get a turbo I would be on that super quick.

So far this is what i've noticed about the OP, you bought a car that someone used to own and took really good care of it and you messed it up and tried blaming it on that person. 2nd you tried putting an xB2 motor and somewhere along the install you messed up, 3rd you had to grind your motor down just to put in a S/C that wasn't fitting right now made for that gen motor. 4th you messed up your electrical system by tring to relocate your battery and failed to even know what you where doing. 5th now this and your blaming kikcaffine about his bearings when no one else seems to be having issues with them, you probably said hey my s/c is suppose to be running better so why not beat the crap out the it and see if it's worth the cost, you didn't even bother breaking them in. dude you seriously need to just buy a brand new car and leave it stock that way you don't have to be blaming people for mistakes you did, also what you probably do for work is completely different than what your tring to do but you need to read up and be aware of what could go wrong if installed wrong.
