Layers on an onion - fix this and the next weakest link will fail. 
I recall there are at least a couple threads on the forum discussing shifter mods and replacement of plastic parts. Some of these are affordable and a few are rather expensive - all depends upon what you need. Do a search and these should come up.

I think stainless steel sponge is what it might be? https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Scrubbing-Scouring-scrubber-Kitchens/dp/B07CTHPJYK/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=stainless+steel+sponge&qid=1592173451&sr=8-3
Is that what came in your air-oil separator? Or did you buy that separately?

That’s exactly what came with it.

After logging Map pressure in VCM scanner it seems I’m only boosting about 10psi. I tried to check the boost bypass/blowoff valve and if it wasn’t broken before it was after I started fooling with it. Went ahead and pulled the m62 which was pretty straightforward except for the connection on the bottom. 4 bolts, the belt map plug, and a couple vac tubes. Looks like some sort of porting was done to this blower. Taped up injector wires and noticed the vacuum tube under the supercharger was very loose wonder it I can just cap this off. Ordered a new boost bypass from Zzp. Cleaned the throttle body in hopes to smooth out the choppy idle issues.

Those rotors don't look good. You might want to get some refurbished ones:

Was thinking the same thing ! Planning on getting stage 2 turbo kit from ZZP this winter don’t want to spend too much money on this blower.

I used the OTTP clamps referenced above with the goblin rod. See here:

OK now that I have these electrical issues out of the way, let's rewind and catch up to speed. From the beginning I knew I didn't want to reuse the stock seats, and I'm too much of a masochist to purchase the DF Corbeau seat brackets to make life easy. What that meant is that I effectively had...

You can plug the vacuum port if you want to bypass the blow off.
Those rotors look terrible. Where is all of that black oil from? I wonder if it's the blower oil leaking inside. What you probably don't realize is your laminova tubes are probably also completely clogged up. You will need to take off your intake to get to those and clean those up.
This is what they should look like.
This is what mine looked like and this is with a relatively clean intake.
All the intake air has to pass through those fins (not around, but through). Cleaning these also helps to keep the IAT2 temps down.

Already got a new one hoping it will help with the idle and choppy throttle issue. Will get a chance to test see this weekend.

A couple of events ago there was a ton of oil blow by it was leaking from the intake so bad there was a puddle under the car in grid. That was before the pan got pulled and the discovery of the blocked oil pickup in the pan. Surprised the motor didn't spin a bearing. Ever since the new chains and catch can its had no issues and nothing in the catch can. It doesn't rattle and tick like hell when I start it like before.

Your right ! They are probably awful 200k and the donor was rode hard. Tempted to pull it back apart but hoping next time it will be to put a turbo kit on it. They seem to really be buried in there :

Carb cleaner spray. Breaks down the oil and grease really well.
