    My Tacoma has developed a bit of a whistle... Any thoughts on where this might be coming from? Something to do with the supercharger perhaps?-- but thoughts on what/where/how? I've had the supercharger on for about 4K miles or so now and it just started this whistle the past week. Only happens under ~mid acceleration and only while driving.

    2003 3.4, TRD supercharger (black 2nd gen version), 99k miles on motor/truck, ~12k miles on SC now, auto transmission.

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    Maybe change out the snout oil

    Yep, that was it. Replaced it with some spare vacuum hose I had around and the whistle is all gone. Yay!
