Car down on boost. This could be why...

[beefcake]

While installing our Jokerz ported blower, we noticed the back bolts on the blower were loose. After pulling the old blower off, we found the 2 rear o rings had been pushing some boost, and getting a good amount of heat.

You can also see on the rear cylinder the difference in coloration from the boost loss...

Are these intake gaskets that have come apart?

because the blower wasn't bolted down all the way, air was getting past the orings. allowing the air to push out past the orings, the more that pushes past, the worse the oring gets, this car only has about 1500 miles on it fyi.

I'll have to have my shop look at it... Random question but did your car have the pinched heater hose? Just wondering if theres consistency in inconsistency if you follow me
Edit to say: Thank you
