This design issue has been corrected, my charger is 4 years old. Andy at Atkins constantly strives to improve the product with little impact to cost. This fault has been replaced with a much more durable collet clamp. If I had used the charger in the way it was intended this issue would have never surfaced. I use it on a bridgeport and spin the charger itself to approx 10,000+ rpm, I over-drive it to produce up to 15 psi (designed to max 10 psi), I feed it with an 800 cfm double pumper to sustain boost to engine rpm's of 8000+, I spray methanol to cool the charge and I race the car. I am sure on my old streetport with my edelbrock 650 and 9psi I could have run it as a daily driver for years and years without an issue......

ok now you making me feel it would be a good idea again. my car is a sa and street driven summer car. i dont want to race it ect. thats what my turbo capri will be for.
i was up in the air about a super charge put on my motor when i rebuild it this winter vs a TII swap. TII swap would mean alot more work but less money unless i rebuild it which would be the smart thing to do. but id rather go with the less work way ie super charge the 12a. do you think ill wind up blowing my rear end or tranny with the super charger?

Well she's back on the road again. Installed a new collet clamp for one rotor and 2 new rotors in the supercharger. Learned how to do a complete teardown and full reassembly with clearancing of all aspects of the rotors. Thanks goes to Andy at Atkins (aka, camden, aka pulleyboys) for his guidance and prompt service. I plan on doing the conservative scoop and will post pics next week after I paint the hood.
