Please post here if Andreas Bufe built your engine

So far Stephen04E55 and I have V8 Kompressor engines built by Andreas Bufe. Anyone else? His work so far been fairly trouble free and strong, although his supercharger pulleys chirp like the rest of them.

Only 1K for you to go until you get the chirp. Thought I was good until I got to approx 3k and then the chrip started. You cannot hear it in my car unless the windows are rolled down. That is when I first noticed it.

I know have 9k miles with no chirp yet. I hope it will not start but it would not be that big a deal.

My E55 was built by Andreas Bufe as well. No problems so far, runs smooth but not as torquey as I'd like.
