Hate the damn thing!

wow....good feedback. thing is i got my bd11a free from another friend, but the internal belt has broken. so i was thinking, i'm just take the plunge and do the extreme powerbuild from 928 for the 1st time, then just maintain it from there. but i'm looking to use this BD11A with a DD car. i'll just be boosting at 5-6 psi, nothign great. just to get a bit of kick outta it. so should be ok for a DD? thanks

So sell your Powerdyne then,becsuae you will always have belt issues.

Rebuild the unit yourself. I did a writeup on it. Its pretty simple and only takes a couple hours. The ceramic bearing rebuild kit from 928 Motorsports is $250. If you don't want to jump to the ceramic bearings, you can source the steel bearings for <$60 for all 4. A machine shop could vent it for you or you could do it yourself if you have a drill press. I'm running 9psi and my car sees a lot of track duty. My unit is vented...

just wanted to know if anyone is using Powerdyne s/c's with the new impellers from 928motorsports? 928motorsports.com i googled and found a few responses, but just wanted to check with the board if anyone has done it? i'm thinking of going for the full rebuild, with the venting, new impellers etc etc, do you all think this is worth it? i'm just looking at boosting around 6psi but for a DD, and i do not want to bother with...
