How can I tell if my supercharger pulley is failing?
Examine the outside of the snout for oil spots. Oil will sling off the back of the supercharger pulley when the seal is damaged and failing because of normal age and wear or excessive boost. Consider upgrading to a Premium Viton double-lip seal and Rotor Clip Snap-ring for a longer seal life.
Can a car be driven without a supercharger?
If yes, then it is not coming from the supercharger. If the noise is eliminated by the belt-removal test, the supercharger bearings should be replaced immediately. The car can be driven without the supercharger belt because the bypass valve allows a reduced air stream through to the cylinders.
