I think someone else on the forum had a similar problem. He replaced the pulleys and the problem was fixed. Check out his thread:https://g35driver.com/forums/forced-induction/97089-vortech-pulley-bearing-noise.html

Yea the supercharger was very obnoxious, the shop that did my supercharger never heard the procharger before, and went they fired it up for the first time they thought there was something wrong with the charger haha. But in the end, it ran fine, so I just delt with it.

the blower on a procharger kit and a turbo are the same jackass....theyre both turbine driven...one by exhaust ..the other by belt...none the less the blower/turbo spools
