Noisy internal supercharger bearing

Hi all

I removed my SC to move my water injection Nozzle and I have this noise when I spin the input pulley:

https://youtu.be/-DgtMUt0lhc

It sounds louder in this video than in person

Not sure if it's bad, it's coming from the rear of the supercharger from the inlet side.

Keep in mind the SC is upside down in this video. Should I be thinking about finding somebody to rebuild it or replacing it.

E55 and several 928s
Great work. I commend you (and I am sure others will) for supplying a much needed product as these cars start to hit 10-13 years old. While many wish to mod, only a few of those wish to actually move to a different SC - which means more need for maintaining the existing unit.

My post was edited and the Benny posts removed. Sponsorship issue? Damn I'll have to look at my history to find the ebay link.

I thought something weird was going on. I could have sworn I commented on this. Bummer.
