    Just as a heads up my old 99 tacoma was the same way and it actually had a leak at this piece:upload_2018-4-20_20-25-43.jpg
    I sealed that up and it helped. Hopefully this helps.

    Borrowed this picture from another thread.

    @Blackdawg I remember when you were repairing Frank's diff breather on the trail I was admiring your supercharger and this part felt loose (thought it might be normal and I didn't know what it was) might be worth having a look at when you eventually start working on him again.

    Also for everyone interested, this was quite possibly the most informative and interesting SC article I have ever read...

    I actually pulled that off and cleaned it thinking it may have been what was causing the whistling sound. The gasket at the top of the elbow was dried up and there wasn't one on the base so I just made a gasket with high temp RTV on the lower and once it was seated I placed a bead around where the elbow met the back of the supercharger. Enough to seal it but if I need to get in there again a razor can separate it.

    Yes they are, second out of three. I am highly enthused.

    Taylor Sheridan is a hell of a screenwriter. His brother is a journalist covering Mexico and the cartels, incidentally.

    It doesn't look like it, but the bottom is flat. Lol.
