    So coming up on a week since my supercharger arrived to Jon Bond Performance and has been radio silence since first initial back and fourth explaining the process of getting it there. Anyone else have a similar experience? Getting a bit worried that I haven't even gotten a confirmation that they received the package. Phone line never works and haven't been able to get an email back.

    Yeah I think JB is at the top of my list for when the time comes. I feel like there was some issues with them last year though with some guys on here, not hearing back and having to wait months...but that was during the peak of "2020" so yeah. Glad to hear they are on top of their game again.

    What about SuperchargersOnline? Anyone familiar with them recently? They claim to be an Eaton/Magnuson-authorized rebuild service

    Is it building up boost?

    The only logical reason I can think of to why these superchargers would stop whining, is if it wasn't making boost. The whine is a direct byproduct of the compressed air going through. I would hook up a cheap boost gauge and see what kind of psi you're getting. Harbor freight actually sells boost gauges for cheap. Might have a leak on the blower somewhere

    would a slight shaft seal leak be enough to drop boost ? when i check my fluid level on the supercharger it always lets out a puff of pressure

    Hmm I'm not sure, been awhile since I've opened mine up. Someone else will have to comment on that. But I would start with basics like checking your boost port is plugged and not leaking (since there's no gauge hooked up to it), EGR port is properly plugged if not in use, etc.

    Years ago my EGR port came uncapped and created a leak that was enough to trip a lean code.

    The rotor pack bearings and timing and coating the rotors are the problem

    Finished the Supercharger installation. Had a few issues along the way I thought I'd share. When we went to start it the first time it ran really bad. wouldn't idle at all, it was most happy when the RPMs were up around 2000. Checked the vacuum connections many times and felt they were all good. We had installed injectors, plugs and wires so we swapped out those to see if that would change things, but it didn't. Swapped out the IAC. After doing a lot of diagnosing we found a large vacuum leak where I had installed the Teflon plate from LCE in between the TB and the SC. Removed it and now it runs great. It may be the lower bolts that mount the TB. Noticed that they are bottoming out in the holes. The factory intake has through holes but the SC holes are blind. Going to put shorter bolts in and see if the Teflon plate can go back on. Once we had the vacuum leak we went for a test drive and it started running rough and continued to get worse. It threw a code, misfire on cylinder 4. swapped that plug and no more problems. I will order a replacement plug.

    I do have DENSO Iridium IK22 Spark Plugs, it was one of them that failed. Need to buy a new one to replace it. For now I put back in one of the stock Denso plugs that were in it till the replacement comes.

    Gasket
    Stock pulley, I may get a smaller one after the methanol injection.
