For all that are commenting, please refrain unless you know specifically what a P1-SC sounds like.

THAT SOUNDS PERFECTLY NORMAL!!!!



Now please move on to your next concern :

P.S. Scott, you really should start posting this in the C4 Forced Induction/Nitrous forum too.

Having owned a Vortech s/c for pretty much the past 6-7 years, that sounds pretty normal to me. Prochargers are the loudest blower on the market, IMHO, and yours sounds normal to me.

I just listened to it and it sounds exactly like every Procharger I've ever heard. They are the loudest SC'er's!

The file sounded a little distorted to me, but it otherwise sounds like my Procharger 600. Mines pretty loud, and my hot rodder friend says hes not sure if he would put up with that noise on a driver like my vette will be- but I think its cool. Its definately louder than my SLP Stainless mufflers.

I'll have him listen to your clip.

You know that sounds like the compressor is not one piece, more like the blades are loose in the hub, like a jet engine turbine section. What does your literture say about it?

BTW, how do you like the way it performs?
