I'm thinking his recall work had something to do with the engine failure.
Anyways, I have tried to call works, left them a voicemail and sent them an email. Will most likely call them again later and try to make it over to them. I just wanted to see if anyone here with more turbo experience would know what to do or went through something like this.
Googling this issue, apparently there is a bushing in the flapper. I'm thinking it's gone bad.

Maybe call Jon Bond of Jon Bond Performance. He is all knowing of everything supercharger. I know it’s a turbo. But I’ll bet possibly you could send him the unit and he can make the bushing. I had issues with the same type of situation with my sprintex supercharger. They have a know leak at the bypass valve shaft a manufacturer defect. He created an oring shaft repair by creating a and making a bronze bushing. He is that great. I would reach out to him mention you talked to me Steve Roby. I’m sure he can get it squared away. Hope this helps ��
