well, ive done it (sorry bill) lol.. i did it when i took my blower off to paint it black.. the main thing i noticed is the whine is definatley louder and now you can start hearing it in low rpm's.. hopefully the quiksteel wont ever come loose and if it ever does, hopefully it only ***** up the blower lol..

So if air passes through the silencer holes would restricting the flow path to the center triangle increase or decrease boost response? It could be neither depending on how much air goes through those holes but there's no way it's going to boost "faster" through restriction.
Correct, this makes the supercharger louder by forcing the air through a smaller opening, the silencer holes allow air to be pushed out more easily. it also has no impact on how quickly boost builds.

port the main opening and plug the silencer holes. there will still be a noticeable increase in whine. ithas more to do with the location of the holes. i cant remember exactly what it was, but someone on here (maybe area47 or witt) described it probably over a year ago

It would have to get by the laminova cores first , but to each their own.

My JBWeld fell out. How soon after it was done I don't know.
My motor did eventually blow, but that was something by itself completely unrelated.
Would I do it again if I could weld, yes.
The whine was definitely without a doubt louder.
umm.. no

i dont get anywhere near full boost when i hit it but it does get higher boost than before the silencer holes where pluged. mine is something like this. (instead of 5 psi when hit gas at 2k, will hit 7-8 psi when hit gas at 2k) its not that big of a difference and there is no power gain whatsoever. its just louder.

Don't use JB Weld. It WILL fall apart.
Quicksteel is the ONLY product that I recommend using. Mine have been in for over $10k miles and they look the same as the day I put them in.
