Ok....number one issue. I have 0 boost. Even at full throttle it might hit 1-2 psi when it usually runs around 13psi. This has been going on for about 2 weeks now. It has no power at all. When you put your ear near the supercharger..you can hear some clanking...louder rattling than usual....any ideas?


Number 2 problem. When i shift out of first to second gear...my car sounds like it is gearing for take-off. This is under normal acceleration 10-8 vacuum. It is the coolest noise ever (only thing I can compare it to is a fully modded car on gran turismo with tranny upgrades). The sound goes up with the RPMS. I can hear it a little bit in the 1st and 3rd gears...but not like second. My clutch is slipping and is getting replaced soon...could this be why my car sounds like this?? Could this also be why my supercharger is making a racket and I have no boost??

 

take it in for warranty

 

You might have a squirrel in your supercharger, either that or a faulty bypass valve.

 

warranty expired a loooong time ago. Lol at squirrel in supercharger though..that was funny. Faulty bypass valve.....thats the black cylindrical thin with a metal arm sticking out the bottom?? Anything I can do to fix this?

 

Replace it if it is faulty for about $40

 

i say before you fix it to record that sound and post it...haha....i wanna hear it!!! YOUR CLEARED FOR TAKE OFF!

 

lol...i dont know if i could get a decent recording while driving...could anyone post a picture of the part i need so I have an idea..or a link to a site?

 

clanking noises from the supercharger seem like it would be worse then a bypass valve. Wouldn't vibrations/ clanking noises be more like busted up blades in the supercharger or messed up gears?

 

from all this going on it didnt throw a CEL?
