Intake screen for 575sci blower?

Intake screen for 575sci blower?
Stupid question (I ask a lot of these)
Looking for extra protection for my engine in the event of a supercharger failure. Things I think I already know
-The early 575sci super chargers are know for coming apart
-Chillers add some protection for these parts falling into the engine
-Many have swapped out the blowers or added chargers
-The chillers may cause complitcations with pooling, and of course complicate the set up
These engines are 2002 models with zero run time since new.
Does someone make a screen that goes in-between the blower and the intake?
I would like to run it stock for a while before chillers, just looking for some extra protection.
I do plan on removing the blowers, checking for drag and changing the 10 year old oil.
Thanks

just pull them off and have them rebuilt/checked...not worth chancing a 20k or more engine rebuild to rebuild the blowers for $1500.
The earlier blowers were actually the better style of the two though.
-If you don't mind...what's the story on a 02, with no run time either of the engines?

So the older blowers are actually better?
Rebuild or not I still want a screen. I remember seeing a screen gasket for a 6/71 years ago

I have an '02 with the W on the side and reservoirs front and rear.
Are these the better blowers?
I haven't had a failure but I did replace the bearings at 150 hours or so. I was also able to squeeze in an extra seal on the two rear seal/bearing areas. About $100 in parts for both blowers.
I'm getting ready to rebuild again and have looked into ceramic bearings.
What do you think of them?
I change the oil every 50 hours and it always looks good. I've been using the recommended Bravo HP gear oil.
What do you think about switching to Torco?

The B&M's have sealed ball bearings in the rear, I've heard
of more issues with them failing than problems with the Weiands.
