question about rebuilding a supercharger/kompressor?

i was wondering what some symptoms might be that a kompressor needs to be rebuilt? I have a moded c32 with a 185mm pulley and under full throttle i can hear air blowing, kind of like a jet. its only under full throttle, say drag racing. my friends even told me when i passed by them, it sounded like a jet blowing afterburner passing by. the car has a 185mm pulley, shorty headers, cat back and tune. she runs pretty much like a raped ape but i dont want any worn parts on my car..?

how much is it generally to rebuild a compressor?

I read about one guy here that had his replaced and there's a diy for changing the oil on one of the superchargers, but I haven't heard of anybody rebuilding them.

Good luck. I hope you find something.
