Change your supercharger bearing, and check the idle pulleys. Not expensive.

Yup super charger bearing. I had the same issue. It had almost sounded like it was coming from the back of the SC. But after changing the bearing the car has been quite quite quite ever since

If I remember correctly the parts was around 50 bucks and quite simple to replace.

Harold at hp autowerks also has the bearing ($49.00). I bought one from him and it turned out to be my clutch pulley that was bad. just check both to see which is bad. Clutch pulley assembly tends to fall apart where it's riveted together. if you have a tough time I still have that brand new bearing still in wrapper.

Also, if the pulley is bad eurocharged has a pulley that gives you 40 more hp for half the price. MB wanted $1430. for stock (71mm) assembly and eurocharged (65mm) is $599. you definitely feel the improvement.

I would get a new pulley from EC it will come with bearings ready to install. should also consider the ECU & TCU upgrade too.

Do not mix supercharger and supercharger pulley bearings.
You MBD is right there is no supercharged bearing available, I was looking 4 'em my self and couldn't find anything.
As for the link, it is the pulley bearing.
