The noise that is coming from your setup is NOT the supercharger.. it's the BOV... the noise has nothing to do with the supercharger.

Turned out to be the Blow Off Valve was defective. After arguing with the installer that the sound was not how they all sound like for a week he replaced the bov and now it's good to go.

i just completed my blower install, however the headunit itself does not sound right to me? is this the way they are supposed to sound? it almost sounds like a "grinding".
all fluids have been checked. in the vid it may sound like the belt is slipping but it is not.
it has sounded like this the second i started it up for the first time.
details.
a&a v3 T trim 3.8 pulley
dallas performance flip drive 6 rib setup
alky meth kit
aem AFR
aem boost/fuel pressure gauges
the car IS NOT tuned. i have the stock injectors still installed. the car is getting tuned this friday where i will swap the stockers out for the 60lb'ers i have.
first vid. cold start. the car has been sitting for about 3 days without being started

second vid, engine warm.

I have the same blower and it sounds about the same to yours. Yours might be a little louder but its hard to tell from the video. I asked quite a few people about it and I was told that this model blower will sound like that at a low rpm (idle) and will whine out with RPM. Mine turns to a whistle/whine above 1000 RPM. This was explained to me as "Gear Lash" I have over 10K on my blower and have not had an issue. I will try to post a video of mine. Sounds like you sent it back for POM. Let me know what you find out
