Hey guys. my buddy has the two slits in the bottom of his supercharger sealed shut with JB weld. it sounds cool cuz it wines super loud. What do you guys suggest i close mine w/? what have you guys used? any info helps. thanks guys
 


Close it with about $500 of your hard earned money. After you have to buy a new bottom end when the JB weld breaks loose and goes into the motor.
 
i had mine sealed up and its not really worth it. whine at WOT stays the same, but you get more part throttle whine. just leave them alone and get a loud whine the right way: open intake and smaller pulleys.
 
I agree that it is louder but probably not worth it just to pull the blower and do it. Ive had mine jb welded for thousands of miles and no it does not break loose with the proper prep work.

I'd still not take the chance to ruin a motor.

To bad you can't weld them shut without warping the casing some. The best way I saw to do it is machine in clearance for a plate to cover up the slits.

Who says they can't be welded shut?
