Mine did this, but on install..
oil level was at half of what it should of been. check your little dip stick on top of the charger.
I toped her off and i havent heard it since.
It also could be a bearing going on it.
I wouldnt drive it, until u figure it out.
Could mess it up more.
Also, call vortec.. they might beable to help you.

Hmmm, Well.
What i would do, pull the supercharger out.
Send it out to vortec, (make sure the levels right on the oil)
They should warranty it.

ok after rechecking the sound is not comming from the blower but from the driveshaft pulley ( pulley that connects the blower pulley to the pulleys on the front of the motor

Ya I don't deal with Je import anymore but I am told by stillen that they have to chk the car out and call stillen about my warranty else it's a 600 dollar part because the drive shaft pulley is a sealed bearing connected to the supercharger bracket
