Got back from wakefield and the problem is getting worse...
getting this oily black grit coming out of the join between the supercharger and the rubber pipe going to the intercooler... when on boost it sounds like air is leaking out....
search has given many varied results, ie blower is completly rooted, leaking pipe, needs engine rebuild, pulley issues..
i need it as a daily driver so if anyone has heard of this b4 please help..

just a cut and paste from the GZE thread..
Mine had tonnes of blowby in the intake tract, was all lined with black grit.. turned out to be a blown headgasket  i didnt have oil in the water or water in the oil (the normal tell tale signs) but it was definatly blown, gassses leaking into the head bolts around #3 piston, oil was leaking out of the front left of the block outa the head gasket too. motor was still running fine when i pulled it down
Ended up rebuilding the head (one of those "while its apart" things), also pulled the pistons out to inspect em, the conrod bearings were showing wear so they were replaced and i reringed it. the oild galleries in the pistons were all blocked up as well. Bore was in good condition though
the motor had 135k's on it, its running good now  still running it in after the freshen up, http://gb.detonated.org/gallery/engine-rebuild for pics
Not what u want to hear i know, i was in the same dilema as my aw11 is my daily too, managed to get a loaner for a month
i just took it for a drive and checked the joiner on the IC where the oil was leaking out, nothing so far

have to ask, why would the grit be in there? could it be a worn gasket?
