Exclamation S/C rebuild in Canada?

Hi guys,
Can anyone recommend a reliable shop (in Canada) that can rebuild a TPC S/C?
Thanks in advance.

I could be wrong, but I think the OP in asking about having a Supercharger rebuilt.

These guys do roots type blowers, I'm not sure but I think the TPC unit is a centrifugal blower, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

I've rebuilt my centrifugal Paxton that I have on the 928. The TPC kit uses Wortech head units and they are a bitl diggerent form the old Paxton I have but they are not that difficult to rebuild. There isn't much inside these things to rebuild. A few bearings, couple seals and that's pretty much it. Now if the impeller was damaged and need a complete overhaul, that's a different story. I would contact Vortech and ask who they have on record as their local service provider in the GTA. There has to be someone as the Vortech SCs are very popular and have been around for over 20 years.

Great, thanks for the input guys. Will be looking into your suggestions.
BTW, the 993 TPC kit uses the Roots type.

Interesting. What does the setup look like, any pictures? The 996 kit is Vortech based.
