A place called 928 Motorsports has rebuild services and sells all the necessary parts as these blowers are actually relatively simple internally. I'm pulling the unit tonight in the garage to see what really happened. It looks clean looking in from the backside of the blower but that front pulley isn't budging. If I'm lucky it's just an internal drive belt that failed and got wedged that I can replace and be good to roll...

The other option I have is track down a good used unit, preferably just the blower itself, off another car (P/N: BD-11 or BD-11A) for a couple hundred bucks and just bolt it up and go. The replacement belts (if that's all it needs) run $50-80 depending on brand and quality so for a little more money a second blower would be good as then I'll have spares etc. I scoured a few forums and Craigslist to no avail... if anyone has one or knows someone with one they want to offload cheap let me know.

Tim...you guys don't have a spare, good condition BD-11 stuck in a corner somewhere? Lol.
