[QUOTE=Bika;6049394]I'm thinking coupler is done. doesnt seem to be losing any boost so I assume my rotors are ok.
Does the TVS use the same snout coupler as the M62?[/QUOTE]
Sure does

Sure does
So I can just pick one up from any of the vendors and slap it in there, or better yet, use one off the several M62 laying around

My "marbles" are only heard at idle when standing in front of the engine. If you are hearing the noises otherwise, you have bigger problems. I will try to upload a video later. All I have is my cell phone to take vid though.
The TVS is ok, but I wish it produced more torque. The low end on this car is useless. Unless you have methanol, E85, or head work, it seems difficult to push much more than 300whp due to heat.

I had my TVS checked & repaired out at ZZP, found the needle bearings weren't greased that well. Sounded pretty loud, removed it and you could feel/hear a slight bump when spinning it by hand. Mine was bought second hand so who knows what had been done to it. I've seen some nasty rotor pics on another forum, may want to take a peak considering how easy it is to pull off.

I dont wish to put methanol on the car again. I dont want to have to worry about tuning for it, and keeping the tank full. I would love to run E85 but it isnt to be found within an hour of me.
Maybe tomorrow I can take that vid. Unfortunately didn't get to it tonight.

maybe. just might have to get like a 50/50 mix or something. wont run straight water though. seems like a bad idea.
too expensive for me right now. and may be more $ than I care to spend anyways. but it does sound like a great idea :-)
The video of the noise. Cobalt SS with TVS blower - YouTube
It seems to have subsided a little since i added some s/c oil. I added a whole 4.5oz bottle to it and its still not to the fill hole. I don't know how much oil was in there but it didnt seem like much.
Anyone know how much oil the tvs is supposed to hold?

Fuel trims are good so i doubt theres a vac leak.
If the oil doesnt go as high as the fill plug, the rear rotor gear/chain wouldn't be getting oil... :-\
Regardless, I'm not putting anymore oil in than I already have. Seems to be fine now anyways.
