I have a procharger that needs to be sent away for seals...anyone found a good way to drive the car without a blower?

Ive removed the blower but dont know what to do about the oil lines.

I guess it should be fine if I plug the oil feed line into the blower and just cover the one that goes back to the oil pan?

Is this a bad idea?

I cant find the size bolt I need for the return line cause its like 3/4 fine thread.

I think plugging the oil feed lines would be fine. I can't think of any other reasons why it wouldn't be okay to drive. I've driven my car without a supercharger drive belt on it, and the blower just freewheels. I wouldn't worry about it.

Plug the oil lines, change the intake, get a stock belt, and don't drive it hard at all.

Throw the stock intake back on there and reflash the stock tune back in it. And I think plugging the oil lines would be fine.
