New2me JCW - Supercharger Experts wanted
Picked up an 03 JCW from Copart last week for a can't pass it up price. Looked like relatively minor front end damage, and now that it's in the driveway that's about right. Low speed impact, just above the bumper so the hood curled up, the scoop is trashed, and the IC diverter is in a few pieces. The IC itself looks good, but we discovered that the post charger MAP sensor was broken in the collision. The main body sheared at the ears for the screws, and the probe pieces broke at the o-ring groove closest to the body.
Replacing the MAP sensor is easy.
The $2500 question is what are the chances the remaining probe pieces went into the supercharger there? And if they went in, what if anything can be done about it?

Well if it's post-charger, I'd say the odds are very little that it went backwards. Don't take that as gospel by any means, I'm sure it's entirely possible they could end up there. I'd just assume that with such small pieces any air would move them easily down the line. You may still end up with issues with that. If you want to be extra careful, pull the S/C off over a weekend and just be very thorough. In this case, it's more along the lines of a pound of prevention saves 10 pounds of cure.
