Purchased this beautiful truck with what I thought were minor issues.
Now less than 2 weeks into ownership I'm pulling the Supercharger and intercooler off to find the Supercharger has been cooked, Teflon peeling off the rotors and intercooler fins clogged with a ton of oil and all those Teflon chips.
So I guess I'm to figure out my options. I'm fairly sure the intercooler can be cleaned, have seen several different ways to do so.
Do I try to hunt for a low mileage stock replacement, buy ported and rebuilt and use mine for a core, or bite the bullet and save up for a Whipple?
I'm a small business owner with limited finances, this truck was going to be a parts hauler and tow rig... Ok lemme have it lol

My Eaton did this on my cobra

I pulled rotors cleared of the coating and it’s been fine

What information I could find showed it was something that may not effect much with out it

For me. During the wait time for my head it must have dried.

When I went to reinstall I noticed binding when trying to spin.

Good luck.
