outside temp is 75F

I looks like I may need a new supercharger. I have found other rotrex failures over at the BMW sight.

A lot of talk about overspeeding the SC causing the problem, and the user I bought mine from had the smallest pulley GMT makes on it with the stage 1 intake. He may have fried the unit and then sold it to me. As I did my install in the winter, the fluid was cool enough to keep the boost up.

I am working with Sam and Mike to come up with a solution.

Check to make sure you did'nt kink the SC hose coming out of the unit going to the SC filter.
