I've had my FFS kit on my 94 since 2010, and it appears that the blower is due for a rebuild. It's gotten quite loud over the last year or so (it really snuck on up me, and I didn't really realize it until it was getting pretty bad). I had my local shop look into replacing the seals and refreshing the oil, but they told me the oil was bone dry, and it sounded like it needed a rebuild.
So now I'm looking to send it back to Magnusen for a proper rebuild, and wanted to see what else I should consider doing while I have the blower off of the car. Are there other refreshments, or upgrades I should consider?
Since I've had the kit installed, I've always had issues with lean tip-in on the throttle if I don't keep the revs up, it sort of lurches before kicking into full power, and lately I've had issues with pinging in the summer heat (any time I get over 8 PSI in 85F+ weather). I don't know if some of that is exacerbated by the worn blower, or what.
Advice and suggestions are appreciated.
My regular maintenance shop is confident at replacing the blower, but I could also use a referral if more "tuning" work needs to be done. I'm based in Glendale (Los Angeles).
