pulled the supercharger cover to clean out oil.i do this every 2500 miles due to poor GM design.will not install a catch can because it voids warranty.easy job.only takes 20 minutes.helps to stop buildup on valves and seats.made a special tool to get the back bolts.before and after pics.
You might as well not bother if your not putting on the MMS solution's catch can that routes the under the blower PVC to the Catch can. STOPS THE OIL FROM getting in the blower. This what you see when you flip the blower over. The intercoolers are getting clogged and it is baked it there. Restricting them pretty quick this was 28,000 miles.
I would say 15 -20 percent clogged reduced cooling.

I am trying to prevent that by pulling and cleaning.i want my warranty to stay intact because a 90K car is very expensive to fix.i had to have the rear end replaced at 200 miles.what do you think that would of cost with no warranty.
Do as you wish! I value the health of the car. The MMS is proven to myself to be needed. Not going to forgo doing because of 'I might" have a future warranty claim.
Plus no way in gods green earth would that catch can stop a rear end replacement on warranty.
My 2017 w/ 6k has the MM catch can but is getting the 2300 blower right now as well.

everybody has choices to make,and thats ok.good luck with your build.if you have the money to do that kind of build and it blows up you will have the 10 or 20k for a new motor.
OP FYI that Halltech CAI is enough to void your powertrain warranty if they choose to. " Most " dealers won't I would like to think, but if your car is in for service GM tech can ask and the tech has to answer their questions truthfully. I actually saw it done on a C6 GS at the local dealer here in Greer,SC.

incorrect.read your powertrain warranty.2 things that void warranty are non gm tune and catch can.

That makes totally no sense to me. Save that warranty you will not likely need till AFTER it is expired then your intercoolers will be badly plugged and the valves need serviced. Should have used the Mighty Mouse Solution.
can you show me this please, sounds like you have it handy and i don't see it on a quick google search please and thanks.
no problem.you know that this has been discused here before you have been part of the discussion.you have a great product but it is a fact because of gm poor design and thier warranty policy that is not worth the problem it would cause if you have a engine failure.

Someone please post up the part of the Powertrain Warranty that states what can/will void (or cause a claim for warranty repair to be denied). I just find it hard to understand that, of the myriad of things that can be done to the powertrain, ONLY a catch can and a tune will void (or cause a warranty repair claim to be denied).

isn't it obvious that if you mess with the tune or pvc air pollution they can and will void your warranty if you have engine problems.they are a billion dollar company with plenty of lawerys to fight and bankrupt you.so talk and give theorys all you want,if you value your warranty on your 90k car ,dont tune or use a catch can.simple.if you have already modded your car and dont care about your warranty,a catch can is a great thing.it is about choices.read and learn. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...catch-can.html
NO MIGHT TOO IT PAL! Enjoy the peace of mind of clogged coolers at 50k.
Fact is flip your blower over and the intercoolers will look like mine some sort of plugged up no theory just facts they all collect oil under the lid. Yours included! Save your warranty maybe buy and save a new blower
for later when your out of warranty and it starts acting up!
Just education for you do as you please!

you stated your supercharger removal was at 28,000 miles.is that the first time you looked at it?did you ever clean out the oil?i started doing mine at 2500 miles.you have had over 10 times the amount of oil in your supercharger.why are you getting so upset?you stated you do not care about a warranty and you have enough money to build your motor,and dont care if it blows.like I stated its about choices,PAL.LOL
The oil fumes from the crank case carry the oil in the PCV. Constantly while it runs. You cleaning it does not much good when it returns time you drive it anywhere. Even if you clean it before every start up and it still would get oil in the intercoolers. You clean it at 2500 miles. That's 2500 miles of oiling. You clean the lid then it oils again for another 2500 miles.
