As for the brakes, if it's just rusted after braking a few times it will go away. I wouldn't worry about it.

I got a escort cosoworth and seems a touch faster than that, but i got a feeling my e320 cdi will catch up with it which is a bit of worry for me, how do i check if the supercharger is on or off.

Well to know if the car's supercharger is off... it feels like an E320 lol.
They won't charge you to check if you're under the manufacturer's warranty. What year and how many miles? I don't know how it is in the UK (that's where you are? or in US?) as far as warrant coverage is concerned.

They'd probably charge you an hour worth of work to figure out what's wrong with it. Could be as simple as the intercooler pump or something else... hard to tell. And I don't know how to tell what's wrong.
In the US, there are 3rd party warranty companies you can get coverage from.
As for the sound, the car is pretty quiet stock. I have removed the resonators and gutted the mufflers so now I have a pretty deep growl.

Your Ic pump has failed.... very rare someone isn't impressed with the e55k's power... Unless they're coming from a 6oo+rwhp supra or something like that... Do a new ic pump(cm30 or the new dealer revised one) And a Heat exchanger and you will be good to go...
