Comptech supercharger problem

Hello,
I drive my supercharger kit since 2 years now. Dismantled it today for a oil change and found that the paint on the propellers or screws (I don't know how it's called) is unsticking from the aluminum.... Is it really bad ? Can I buy new parts for this ? Do I have to ? Where ?

Thanks guys

yikes, idk if i would be TOOOO alarmed about that, but comptech makes really great quality products and im shocked that its flaking off like that.. did you buy the kit new? also i would try giving comptech a call and see if they will replace it considering the powder coating (assuming its powder coated) is flaking off and is being sucked into your intake and could pose a potential problem, even tho the pieces of flake are prolly so small and burn up like nothing in the combustion chamber. Keep me posted.

I think its the teflon coating that help the air glide over the blades

Call Magnuson. They will most likely be the ones to re-coat the blades if need be.

Thanks Guys,
I'm already in contact with magnuson and I have problem to make them say if it's dangerous or not for my engine to run the car this way until it become a real problem (boost drop). Don't want to affect the engine integrity.

Alex
